The worldwide phenomenon of bizarre, handmade sanctuaries is fully explored in this fascinating photo book. The Watts Towers of Simon Rhodia and the Palais Ideal by Ferdinand Cheval are the most famous examples of when spontaneous inspiration produces fantasy architecture. Vivid color photos and scholarly text illuminate these makeshift temples to the unknown. Text in English, German and French.
