It's sometimes said that a man's home is his castle, but as this gently humorous book proves, it could equally be his turf-roofed roundhouse or his converted Routemaster bus. Providing a refreshing antidote to the ikea-isation of modern abodes, it uncovers 40 of the quirkiest homes across the UK. Each story comes with full-colour photographs.

It's sometimes said that a man's home is his castle, but as this gently humorous book proves, it could equally be his turf-roofed roundhouse, his converted Routemaster bus or his - and her - shrine to Elvis. Providing a refreshing antidote to the ikea-isation of modern abodes, "No Place Like Home" uncovers 40 of the quirkiest homes and homeowners across the UK. Readers will instantly warm to the businessman who, in a fit of pique at the local council, settled a replica Spitfire aircraft and a 14-foot marlin sculpture on his roof; the retired commercial manager who lovingly crafted a topiary menagerie in his back garden; and the teenager whose bedroom boasts a fully equipped discotheque. Each delightful story is accompanied by full-colour photographs that reveal both the customised inner sanctums and the exteriors of Britain's most whimsical home sweet homes.

Richard Jarman lived in a series of pubs in the West Midlands in the 1970s and 1980s. Since attending Oxford University, he has made London his hometown.
