Writerly Travels: The Mount

I first got the idea to write these little posts about writers' homes from a pair of posts I saw on Houzz.  Edith Wharton co-wrote design and garden books in addition to her engaging novels (like The Age of Innocence, which I wrote about here) and put many of her design sensibilities into play in the home she had built in 1902.  It was also the site of the composition of a number of her novels.  The interior of the home is incredible and worth taking a look, but I would love to spend a few hours traipsing about the grounds outside and exploring the sunken secret garden...
