Product Description
If houses could talk, what would the Charleston farmhouse say? It might boast that it is the most important remaining example of Bloomsbury decorative style, created by the painters Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. Bell's son, Quentin, and granddaughter, Virginia, continue this distinctive house's story, linking it to cultural figures who visited there, including Vanessa's sister Virginia Woolf and art critic Roger Fry.
