A fascinating new account of the history of the English house, from the country's preeminent architectural historian'Cruickshank’s enthusiasm for England’s vernacular architecture shines through every infectious sentence of this glorious book... A triumph.' - The Times'A mine of information presented in an effortlessly accessible style. Unlike many books that merely convey stories attached to buildings, this is social and architectural history delivered with forensic insight' - Country LifeThis is the story of the superbly elegant early eighteenth-century Pallant House in Chichester. It's the story of 19 Princelet Street in Spitalfields, built for a Huguenot silk-weaver, ultimately a synagogue. It’s also the story of – among others – a row of two-up, two-downs in Toxteth, a block of flats in London’s East End, and what Ideal Home’s magazine described in 1926 as Britain’s ‘first modern house’ – in Northampton.

Together these buildings reveal the ways in which English homes have developed and changed over the past few centuries. At the same time, as Dan Cruickshank shows, they have much to tell us about the lives of their first occupants: their aspirations, their struggles, their place within society and relationship with their local community. The English House brilliantly weaves these two strands together, blending architectural and social history to create a series of brilliantly observed portraits of fascinating buildings.

Praise for Dan Cruickshank'Genial, erudite and companionable . . . this heroic and heartfelt book caps a career devoted to [Spitalfields'] heritage.' ? Spectator'With beguiling erudition, TV historian and local resident Cruickshank tells the story of Spitalfields from Roman times to today . . . This is people’s history at its tastiest.' ? Sunday Express'A passionate, scholarly energy and involvement with every era of the district's long history come off Spitalfields' pages . . . Absorbing detail.' ? Times Literary Supplement'Cruickshank writes perceptively and honestly . . . As well as being a fascinating account of a unique area of London, Spitalfields is a timely warning that helps us to appreciate what the city and country risk losing.' ? Country Life'A delight to read . . . Teaches one how to use one's eyes more intelligently.' -- Jean Seaton, Chair of Judges, PEN Hessell-Tiltman History Prize

Comes apart easily.
Color: Black+Red
Bought my toddler an iPad for Christmas. Great feel, good quality but pops front pops off very easily when he drops it. I wish it would stay on a little better so I will be looking for a new one.

This iPad case is amazing! It fits perfectly, feels very durable, and gives great protection against drops and scratches. The design is super cute and the buttons and ports are easy to access.

Cute and sturdy IPad cover.
Color: Purple Rose, Size: Case for iPad 9th/8th/7th Generation
Perfect cover for an iPad. I bought it for my 4 year old granddaughter’s iPad and she has dropped her iPad so many times and it stayed protected. The colors are cute girly colors. I love this cover. The handle turns all the way around and stands the iPad vertically and horizontally as well. Would definitely buy again.

Very good iPad case
Color: Rose Gold Pink, Size: Case for iPad (A16) 11th/10th Generation
The iPad A16 case has very good quality and fits perfectly to the device. I liked it because it protects well against bumps and scratches without making the iPad too heavy. The material feels resistant and the folding support is very practical for watching videos or working comfortably. In addition, the design is elegant and easy to clean. Excellent option for the price.
