Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) designed the Cenotaph in Whitehall, vast Imperialist buildings in India (including much of New Delhi), Queen Mary's dolls' house and Hampstead Garden Suburb. But his greatest heritage is the traditional Edwardian country house. This is the full biography of this witty, complex man who had little formal education, loved jokes and hated growing up. It was authorized by his last surviving daughter, Mary, who died last year.
