Treehouses have always held a special place in the British imagination. This richly illustrated and entertaining guide will enchant readers with its stories of treehouses and their builders past and present throughout the world. The most extraordinary buildings have been erected in trees: pubs, churches even a railway station! The author has himself lived in treehouses. A forestry officer, he has built treehouses in places as far apart as the Solomon Islands and Dover. His advice on designing and constructing treehouses is thus founded on real practical experience. Treehouses have often provided a retreat for those seeking to escape from affairs of state. Churchill built his children a secret house in a tree at Chartwell. Elizabeth II was proclaimed Queen in a treehouse in Kenya, Victoria spent a happy holiday sketching in a Tudor tree folly at Pitch ford Hall. The first Elizabeth and the debauched Roman Emperor Caligula alike held riotous banquets in treehouses. Anthony Aikman reveals the pleasures of treehouses in history and literature. Local legend claims that Charles II hid in an oak tree at Boscobel and that Robin Hood made his headquarters at Major Oak in Sherwood Forest. Tarzan of the Apes and Pooh Bear are both renowned for their occupancy of treehouses. This beautiful book is at once a unique survey and a heartfelt appreciation of that delightful creation, the treehouse. Ref O 5.
