Glimpsing a thatched roof, mullioned windows, or an open stable door, even the least curious traveller must wonder what the cottage is like inside. This delightful book reveals the ways in which clever and imaginative cottage owners have succeeded in retaining that all too elusive sense of age, without being forced to adopt the primitive standard of comfort endured by the original inhabitants. The author and photographer have searched countrywide from Berwick-upon-Tweed to the Lizard peninsular for interiors which still have quirky imperfections and beguiling architectural details. They have uncovered a wealth of charming cottages which, despite the passage of time and alterations made by successive generations, retain wonderful and poignant reminders of a way of life now vanished.

I love this book. It is a perfect example of architectural modes for the common man--God need not apply. I grew up in a 1920 California bungalow (cottage) and wish I could be there again. This book captures the feel, if you will, of a certain age and income level. The pictures of my home are only possible when I close my eyes. I think I could replicate it, but it has passed into the mists of time. Japan has a house museum in Kawasaki City that conjures up the same sort of feelings. This is a book you can read and look over again and again. Great text and photography.
