With an unprecedented collection of historical documents, vintage photographs and vivid colour plates, this book takes you back in time to the fabulous Gatsby-like era of the resort's heyday, a golden age when sleek mahogany launches plied sparkling lake waters, glittering masquerade balls were held in the Pavillion, chamber trios played to Hollywood stars in the Tea House, and royalty lounged beside crackling fires in the Rotunda.
