Derided at the time by the architectural press, these homes were nonetheless enormously popular. With their tiled roofs and pebbledash, their gardens and bay windows, they epitomised a particularly British idea of "home"." "Little Palaces looks at these houses, inside and out, and at the way of life of their inhabitants. Based on material relating to North London, and with evocative photographs and illustrations, Little Palaces provides and informative introduction to the suburban semi."--BOOK JACKET.
