A beautiful photographic guide to Hearst Castle on the California Central Coast. To William Randolph Hearst, San Simeon was a magical place, crowned by an enchanted hill where he and his family traditionally camped. The meager lodgings were gradually expanded with the help of architect Julia Morgan until it became the house of splendor that around a million visitors tour each year. The Hearst landmark is truly remarkable and this book provides the reader a photographic tour of the castle.
