A perfect gift for fathers and sons, and anyone who dreams of the secret hideaway in the trees. The most gorgeously produced, comprehensive showcase of treehouses, including some playhouses. Based on their beautifully crafted The Treehouse Book, Peter and Judy Nelson and renowned editor and designer David Larkin have compiled in this calendar twelve of the most fascinating and imaginative livable treehouses in the United States. The architects and homeowners of these houses have achieved the near impossible by allowing what has been thought of as fantasy to become feasible architectural works of art. Universe published the book on this quintessentially American phenomenon which represents five years of research and features all new material from the team whose last book on treehouses - published in 1994 - sold over 100,000 copies.

This review is from: Treehouses 2002 Wall Calendar (Calendar)
This companion calendar to Peter and Judy Nelson's 'The Treehouse Book' features photos of fourteen North American treehouses. Treehouses are located in New England, California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, and Paul Rocheleau's photographs are wonderful -- nice lighting and perspective. While most of the featured treehouses are private homes or recreational sites, one is an office and two are commercial inns. I will probably never be lucky enough to have a treehouse office, but I will certainly make an effort to visit the B&B!January through December 2002 are covered, each accompanied by a large facing photograph that is approximately 11 inches by 11 inches; another very small picture is on the opposite page -- this is sometimes another treehouse but more often a detail or alternative perspective of the one featured for that month. The opposite page also contains a short paragraph of text telling where the treehouse is located and any other interesting information about it, like the treehouse built in memory of a son killed at sea. The date grid includes holidays, daylight savings time, and seasonal (incl. full moon) information. The grid is rather small, about one-and-a-half inches square for each day, but it is adequate to write in appointments if you are not John Hancock. This is a beautiful calendar that may well have the power to bring a smile to your face -- a bit of whimsy and romance right on your refrigerator or office wall!
