Faces at Hearst Castle

Castle authors Jana Seely and Keri Collins focus on over forty art objects in this engaging new publication by Hearst Castle Press.

Biography castle country hearst house From Booklist Hearst Castle, as the California home of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst was unofficially called, is one of the top tourist draws in the country, a fact that is easy for readers to appreciate as they luxuriate in the pages of this exceptionally vibrant text-and-photo history of the house. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. A rich photographic tour of William Randolph Hearst's legendary California estate at San Simeon chronicles the history of Hearst Castle, the work of his Hearst's architect, Julia Morgan, the art and architectural treasures of the estate, and anecdotes about life in the glamorous country house during its heyday. Not really interested in the text.
