About this product
Product Information
A fascinating book that looks at folly builders, people so blinded by fashion or driven by ideology that they spent great fortunes on making their point in brick, stone and flint. Most follies are simply misunderstood buildings, and this book studies the motives, characters, decisions and delusions of their builders.

Reviews
"This lively and chatty book tells the incredible stories behind these buildings. [...] This book is more of a side order, great to dip into and full of enjoyable anecdotes that bring the history of these buildings to life." Kate Judge, Context "This riveting book investigates the motives, ideologies, characters and delusions behind this much-loved, but often misunderstood, genre of architecture." Country Life, Book of the Week "Headley and Meulenkamp are well established authorities on architectural exuberance on the estates of the English aristocracy and gentry" Ancient Monuments Society "Headley and Meulenkamp's research work is second to none [...] This book is masterful because of the stories behind the follies. All types of follies are arranged by chapter with a short list of where to find them in England. A kind of travel guide if you will! [...] That is why the recent book The English Folly is so important, because for the first time (in the history of folly), the authors uncover the many stories of the creation of important (unfortunately only) English follies." (Translated from Dutch) Rik Roelfzema, De Prinsenland krant "Excellent." Benjamin Riley, Literary Review "[This book] will appeal to those who like to explore the byways of architectural history."
