Tudor Houses Explained (Britain's Living History) Paperback – Illustrated, March 1, 2012

This is a wonderful informative and interesting dateline of who , what where and how the design and construction of these structor began . Very interesting .

This little book was very interesting. Although short, it provided invaluable information about the Tudor houses. It's a must read for anyone interested in the subject.

This little guide packs more useful information into 59 pages than most books seem to do in over 100 pages. The writer makes no waste of words and most everything is accompanied by a wonderful, albeit small illustration to drive home the main points. The basic Tudor house is viewed through several lenses; what changed in society to give rise to the Tudor style; what was it constructed out of; the details of the various interior spaces; it's decline and revival and features of revival structures. Were it slightly longer and had great photographs to accompany the illustrations it would receive 5 starts.

Exactly what I needed for the Tudor-era book I'm working on, so I can sound like I know what I'm talking about. Full house drawings, details, floor plans.

Good book.

My favorite home ... a tudor and one day I will have one!

Easy text; good examples. A few more pictures would have been lovely. Drawings and cutaways are very helpful. Short discussion of Tudor style influence on more modern buildings at the end. The meat is the thematic exposition of exterior, interior and surrounds of the Tudor house, from decor to use. Comprehensive overview for the casually interested.

Ok little book - bit of a repeat of thoughts
