Since the early seventeenth century, when the cultivation of exotic plants & fruit became fashionable in northern Europe, glasshouses have offered an artificial climate in which they could flourish. At first these structures were within reach only of the very richest, & growing one`s own oranges, orchids, pineapples or bananas was a sign of great wealth; but by the mid-nineteenth century manufacturers emerged to cater for a growing middle-class market. Glasshouses became increasingly sophisticated, with different types tailored to house specific crops, & manufacturers competing with one another by developing their own house styles, leading to a wealth of designs endlessly fascinating to the garden or architectural historian. In Glasshouses, Fiona Grant provides an illustrated introduction to the subject, including the twentieth century decline & recent attempts at restoration. ...

Have you heard the one about the ticket-less punter who was so desperate to get into the Glastonbury Festival that he hired a small plane & parachuted into the site? & what about the guy who dropped his false leg into the stinky depths of a Glastonbury toilet? The Glastonbury Festival is steeped in myths & legends & author Marc Leverton has collected together the pick of them. Every entry is accompanied by a photograph capturing the moment. Marc Leverton is a seasoned Glastonbury Festival goer & is the author of Banksy Myths & Legends which sold well in the UK & the USA. In the course of his research he has uncovered a wealth of Glastonbury rumours & myths. Or are they? Some of the stories are undoubtedly true, some of the recollections are decidedly hazy but many of the most unlikely tales are true stories. Surely it can`t be the case that in a hot year a tanker usually used to suck waste out of the toilets was filled with water & sent out to damp down the dusty roads. But the wrong tanker was dispatched & instead of spraying water
