Meisel and Ellen Harris, Abrams, 172 pages, $60 Terry Peters Contributing Writer It’s the play- ground of the east coast, where sand dunes, long grasses and miles of beaches provide an escape from the pressures of city living. The Hamptons — its name conjures up images from books and movies that have celebrated its beauty. The Big Sur of the east, and like its more rugged west coast cousin, the Hamptons has attracted the wealthy, who come to relax in splendid style. It is both a celebration of this splendor and the area’s historic charm that authors Meisel and Harris have drawn upon for this book. Down windy roads, lined with tall Priver hedges we travel with them, getting peeks at the beautiful homes revealed only in part through the archways and gates. We are teased with small views at first, then as we go further into the book, we also go deeper into the properties, exploring both ‘the grounds and the interiors of the homes. From tiny cottages to elaborate mansions, the Hamptons has room for them all and for everything in between. A pleasant mix of photographs of gardens, homes and scenery show us a lifestyle to envy. We are treated to tours of many properties but ‘denied the information on the owners to satisfy our curiosity of who lives there. Like the soothing sounds of the Adantic’s waves com- ing ashore, this book will lull you into a relaxed state of mind, to allow you to dream of what it would be like to have a Hampton retreat of your own. information as carly as possible to the North Shore News, 1139 Lonsdale Ave, North Wednesday column.
