This colorful volume examines extravagant and practical structures built for animals of all types over the last several centuries in the UK. The work provides a detailed discussion of important
historical sites in Britain and the stables, apiaries, dairies, and fishing pavilions, often designed by leading architects of the times, that tell the tale of eras of extravagance, when design
fantasies could be indulged for the benefit of the fauna. The work includes numerous color photographs and plates as well as historical drawings and vintage images. Lambton is a British
photographer and is the author of several works on English historical culture. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
