Pocket Guide to English Architecture by Philip Wilkinson

Pocket Guide to English Architecture by Philip Wilkinson

This user-friendly guide to English architecture up to the mid-twentieth century is divided into styles with examples highlighted (e.g. the Tower of London for Norman Architecture), complemented by original prints which sets this quality book apart from other guides. The detailed 18th and 19th century (and later) prints enable the reader to understand just what makes these styles so important and have the advantage of being much clearer than much modern photography. Written by architecture expert Philip Wilkinson, this is a must-read book for anyone who wants to know about English architecture in a pocket-size guide, ideal for reading when traveling.

Philip Wilkinson is an adult and children's author who has written approximately 50 books. His first book, Incredible Buildings, won an award from the American Institute of Architects, and his latest, A Celebration of Global Traditions and Rituals, was supported by the United Nations. He's also the author of several popular TV adaptations, including What the Romans Did for Us and Restoration. Wilkinson, his wife, and their son live in the Cotswolds, England.
