_tIndex
520 0 _aA fascinating book that looks at folly builders, people so blinded by fashion or driven by ideology that they spent great fortunes on making their point in brick, stone and flint. Most follies are simply misunderstood buildings, and this book studies the motives, characters, decisions and delusions of their builders.
