If you think of dolls houses as usually being period houses, it's time to think again! In this amazing compendium of miniature buildings, author Sarah Walkley looks at the many other styles of construction that are increasingly being created by miniatures enthusiasts, including cozy cottages, modern loft apartments, churches, garden sheds, lighthouses, and windmills. The World of Miniatures even delves into the fantasy world of witches' lairs, haunted houses, and burrows for mice and bears.

Drawn from the wealth of interesting and unusual models that have been featured in Dolls House Magazine over more than five years, it showcases the best examples of the dolls' house hobby to demonstrate what can be achieved when working in miniature.
