 | Sweet Bird of Youth by Tennessee Williams
The very title of Sweet Bird of Youth is one of ironic pity. The two chief characters--a raddled has-been actress from Hollywood, seeking to forget her present in drugs and sex, and her still handsome masseur-gigolo, who has brought her to his hometown in the South, believing that through her money and faded glamor his gaudy illusions may yet come true--are the reverse side of the American dream of youth. Yet as they work out their fate amid violence and horror, there is nevertheless a note of compassion for the damned. AUTHOR: Tennessee Williams

 | House & Garden Book of Country Rooms by Leonie Highton
Taking a room-by-room approach, the book looks at interiors from around the world which embody this appealing concept. The selection is gloriously wide, ranging from an exquisitely decorated drawing-room in southern France to a log-cabin bedroom in Aspen, Colorado, and a simple, all-white open-plan interior on St Lucia. Some of the rooms are grand in scale, some modest; some are flamboyant, concentrating on interesting finishes and mixing different styles of furniture and fabrics, while others are reticent in color and content. All of them, however, have originality and style. Informative text and captions highlight the essential elements of the look, making this book an invaluable source of ideas for every designer and decorator. AUTHOR: Leonie Highton
