520    One of the most remarkable men of the 18th century, 
       Lancelot "Capability" Brown was known to many as "The 
       Omnipotent Magician" who could transform unpromising 
       countryside into beautiful parks that seemed to be only 
       the work of nature. His list of clients included half the 
       House of Lords, six Prime Ministers and even royalty. 
       Although his fame has dimmed, visitors still enjoy many of
       his works today at National Trust properties such as 
       Croome Park, Petworth, Berrington, Stowe, Wimpole, 
       Blenheim Palace, Highclere Castle (location of the series 
       Downton Abbey) and many more. This book tells his 
       triumphant story, uncovers his aims and reveals why he was
       so successful. Illustrated throughout with color 
       photographs of contemporary sites, historical paintings 
       and garden plans, this is an accessible resource for 
       anyone who wants to know more about the man who created a 
       landscape style which for many defines the English 
       countryside.
