Palaces for Pigs by Lucinda Lambton )

Palaces for Pigs by Lucinda Lambton )

Since the 16th century animals have provided an excuse to build fantastical structures; fuelled by British eccentricity and their extravagant love of their pets, remarkable buildings dedicated to animals have risen up all over the British Isles. The book celebrates architecture for animals and is illustrated with full-colour photography throughout.

'glossy, hugely entertaining. . [this] fascinating book will certainly warm the cockles of the trail-blazing, sentimental, animal-loving heart that lurks within many an English breast.' -- Val Hennessy
'Gloriously idiosyncatic and often extravagantly lavish, she captures a fabulous variety of fanciful dwellings'
'this is a marvellous evocation of British eccentricity. . . Fun and fascinating.'
'The author is on classic form in this amusing and instructive anthology.' -- Jeremy Musson
