History
In the late nineteenth century, aristocratic socialist reformer Thomas Hughes and his group of Utopian intellectuals left England to settle in an isolated area of the Cumberland Plateau in East Tennessee. There they built a charming village of gabled windows, peaked roofs, charming homes, and a quaint church and impressive library, but they were never able to make a success of the settlement. When their Uptopian experiment soon failed, most of the new settlers returned to England.
What remained were the people who lived there before the reformers came, and the buildings, of course. The Table at Grey Gables recounts the founding of the Victorian English village and the dichotomy of the two cultures of Cumberland Plateau country and aristocratic English in the small, rural community. Line drawings, historical narration, biographical sketches, personal anecdotes, and scrumptious recipes of the food served at the Grey Gables Bed 'n Breakfast, noted worldwide for its beauty, charm, and good food, fill the pages of this charming, unique book.
