It seems that almost everyone likes treehouses. Smiles of
recognition turn into grins of enthusiasm as more people discover
them and dream about making their own private retreats or family
play spaces. And it's nice to remind ourselves that treehouses are
built into the oldest and most forgiving, living things on earth.
Also, history records treehouses as being built as deliberate
follies, as challenges for arboreal designers, for merrymaking, and
for keeping the spirit of fairy tales alive. But treehouses can
also be social places. We will visit many that were built to
entertain, to hang out with friends, or as guest houses. Trees
welcome all types.
Master treehouse builders Peter and Judy Nelson, with David Larkin,
have embarked on yet another treehouse-discovery expedition across
America, this time adding the investigation of backyard playhouses
to their agenda. Now, in "The Treehouse Book," they reveal their
findings, illustrated and described in the most complete volume
yet. From casual treeshacks made from discarded lumber to
multitiered feats of fancy, they found shelters representing
myriad builders-interesting characters ranging from childhood
fanatics grown up, to weekend carpenters, to those who want their
grandkids to have the best clubhouse on the block.
Detailed how-to information, including plans and drawings, is woven
with behind-the-scenes tales of each structure's occupants and
stunning interior and exterior photographic explorations.
