Klappentext * A fascinating and witty tour of Britain's architectural history from the bestselling author of AMO! AMAS! AMAT AND ALL THAT - out now in paperback * A fascinating and witty tour of Britain's architectural history from the bestselling author of AMO, AMAS, AMAT AND ALL THAT - out now in paperback Zusammenfassung A brilliant, offbeat celebration of the great hodgepodge of British buildings' Thomas Marks, Sunday Telegraph From soaring Victorian railway stations to Edwardian terraces, from Perpendicular churches to Strawberry Hill, Britain has an architecture unrivalled in fertility, invention and heart-stopping beauty. And with some very strong feelings about window sills, Harry Mount could not be better qualified to survey it. Meandering through garden suburbs and cathedral closes, discovering Moghul palaces in Gloucestershire and Egyptian sphinxes in Islington, A Lust for Window Sills is rich with anecdote, allusion and such inspired digressions as where to find the ugliest gargoyles and a liquid history of watering holes from gin palaces to the Rovers Return.
