Treehouses have always held a special place in the British imagination. This richly illustrated and entertaining guide will enchant readers with its stories of treehouses and their builders past and present throughout the world. The most extraordinary buildings have been erected in trees: pubs, churches even a railway station! The author has himself lived in treehouses. A forestry officer, he has built treehouses in places as far apart as the Solomon Islands and Dover. His advice on designing and constructing treehouses is thus founded on real practical experience. Treehouses have often provided a retreat for those seeking to escape from affairs of state. Churchill built his children a secret house in a tree at Chartwell. Elizabeth II was proclaimed Queen in a treehouse in Kenya, Victoria spent a happy holiday sketching in a Tudor tree folly at Pitch ford Hall. The first Elizabeth and the debauched Roman Emperor Caligula alike held riotous banquets in treehouses. Anthony Aikman reveals the pleasures of treehouses in history and literature. Local legend claims that Charles II hid in an oak tree at Boscobel and that Robin Hood made his headquarters at Major Oak in Sherwood Forest. Tarzan of the Apes and Pooh Bear are both renowned for their occupancy of treehouses. This beautiful book is at once a unique survey and a heartfelt appreciation of that delightful creation, the treehouse. Ref O 5.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: no dj. Jim Tully is a misfit who belongs to an earlier era. The causes he believes in, like the world he wants to live in, are already doomed. The narrator first meets him during a student riot in Paris and finds him again more than twenty years later in Thailand. In between Tully has drifted around the world, tossed from one noble cause to another, even being imprisoned by the Khmer Rouge. In Bangkok, writing a book his friends fear reveals too many secrets, he is persuaded to work for an American movie mogul. To Tully's disgust his screenplay about a new Genesis is cut and manipulated into a nature romp in the jungle. When a sequel called Genocide is planned, Tully quits. Soon after, the tycoon is found murdered. Tully vanishes, only to become involved in the search in Cambodia for MiAsAmerican prisoners of war who have been missing since the end of the Vietnam War. When this venture is exposed as a scam, Tully retreats into the jungle, subsequently finding a new cause helping the Karen in their fight for independence from the tyrannical Burmese government. He finally reappears in Bangkok during the bloody democracy riots in 1992, only to be among the many listed as missing. In fact he has returned to Cambodia, where the United Nations peacekeeping mission assign him to an outpost far up the Mekong River and to an uncertain welcome from his old adversariesthe Khmer Rouge.
