In Miniature is a delightful, entertaining and illuminating
investigation into our peculiar fascination with making things
small, and what small things tell us about the world at large. Here
you will find the secret histories of tiny Eiffel Towers, the truth
about the flea circus, a doll's house made for a queen, eerie
tableaux of crime scenes, miniature food, model villages and
railways, and more. Simon Garfield brings together history,
psychology, art and obsession, to explore what fuels the strong
appeal of miniature objects among collectors, modellers and fans,
and teaches us that there is greatness in the diminutive.
