Anyone possessed by the fantasy of finding the perfect house in the country, or by the urge to restore a somewhat-less-than-perfect one, or by the inspiration to construct a dream dwelling from scratch, would do well to read this savagely funny novel as a cautionary fable before going any further. First published in 1946, this tale of the ill-fated house hunters Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Blandings is perfectly apt today (all that’s needed is a sizable multiplier to adjust the costs for inflation).

Also a great classic film version with Cary Grant and Myrna Loy!
