Alhambra: A Moorish Paradise (Small Books of Great Gardens) by Claire de Virieu. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780865652064.

This volume describes the gardens of the Alhambra, Spains most visited monument. Started during the Islamic conquest of Spain, it contains a dazzling series of lace-like courtyards, a well as the gardens of the Generallife. Outside the fortress walls of the Alhambra, the "Gardens of the Architect" have symmetrical beds of flowering plants framed by romantic architecture and enlivened by the sound of water from myriad fountains and bubbling pools.
