An inspirational celebration of sheds, both humble and not so humble. The National Trust looks after many of Britain's most important and beloved buildings: its sheds. They lurk in the shadow of grand country houses; they brave the elements on the tops of cliffs. They have inspired famous writers and housed everything from beehives to birdwatchers. These beautiful, inspiring, and eccentric structures are as individual as their owners. George Bernard Shaw's shed could be rotated throughout the day to make the most of the sun, while sculptor Barbara Hepworth used hers for napping in. Full of inspiring photographs accompanied by amusing and informative text, this collection covers everything from literary writing dens and horticultural hideaways to floating sheds, sleeping sheds, coastguards' sheds, summer houses, beach huts, teahouses, follies, and more.
