For fans of Studio Ghibli, this fantastical art book transports readers to imaginary houses, each with their own story to tell A dreamer's tree house. A mechanic's cottage. A submerged city. In Houses with a Story, more than 30 imaginative houses and the people who make them home offer unexpected worlds to wander through and explore. Who is the mischievous bridgetower keeper? What does the witch grow in her garden? How does the postal worker tame his delivery dragons? In each house, readers discover the contents of rooms and closets, what's at the top of the stairs, and where shadowy hallways lead. Story text provides background and details about the lives of the residents and hints about their past and future. Featuring lush illustrations, diagrams, and detailed descriptions of each character, the homes' locations and landscapes open doors to whimsy, wonder, and endless possibilities.

I don't know how to categorize this book but I know I would read 100 volumes of it if the author published them!!
The houses and art are so beautiful and dreamy. The little story they make up to go along with them give you just enough of a staring place to let your imagination go wild. Definitely give this book to anyone who likes fantasy, making up stories, or architecture.
