A beautiful look at the iconic San Simeon estate of William Randolph Hearst. Victoria Kastner gives us a wonderful narrative, then fills the book with pictures to bring the words to life. The high quality pictures are the best thing about the book. No detail of the house is missed. In her narrative, Kastner talks of the history of the Castle, the building of it, the living in it, and the status it enjoys today. Excellent reading for any admirer of the Castle. ( )
