Barbara Jones presents a spirited study of architectural whimsy in this art and cultural history book, charting Britain’s eccentric tradition of ornamental follies and grottoes with sharp observation and vivid detail. She documents their origins, craftsmanship and symbolism, creating a confident portrait of imaginative structures that reveal as much about their creators as the landscapes they adorn.
