Arcadia for All: The legacy of a makeshift landscape by Hardy, Dennis and Ward, Colin

Five Leaves is pleased to announce a new edition of Arcadia for All - an exploration of how thousands of people from South-East England and the London hinterland built their own place in the sun, without benefit of local authority planners and building societies.

Arcadia for All includes dozens of photographs of the "plotlands", and interviews with those whose lives were changed by building their own homes.

"...the authors venture some fresh, practical and civilised answers... with consummate delicacy, skill and fairness" - Times Literary Supplement

"Arcadia for All presents a powerful basis for a fresh analysis of town planning and building..." - New Statesman

"Arcadia for All affords a mix of fascinating information not easily available elsewhere" - Sunday Telegraph

"Arcadia for All: (Ward) is the most distinguished British anarchist alive. Ward has spent long decades cheerfully advocating benign and peaceful ways to ignore both state and market. I recommend Arcadia for All. We need more books like this..."
- the Independent

Dennis Hardy is Professor of Utopian History at Middlesex University. Together with Colin Ward he has written Goodnight Campers! The History of British Holiday Camps (new edition forthcoming from Five Leaves). His other books include Alternative Communities in Nineteenth-Century England; Utopian England and books on the New Towns.

Colin Ward is the chronicler of popular and unofficial uses of the landscape. His many books cover New Towns, urban regeneration and tenant participation in housing. He is the author of Cotters and Squatters: housing's hidden history; Talking Anarchy; and, with David Crouch, The Allotment: its landscape and culture. His book on Chartres is forthcoming from Five Leaves. He is also the author of Anarchism: a short introduction, forthcoming from OUP.
