From dodos and dioramas to witch bottles and wooden pets, every object provides unexpected insights into the lives of those who made, owned or used it.
Selected by National Trust curators, the featured objects are accompanied by easy-to-read captions.
The book concludes with a list of National Trust places where these intriguing collections can be found.
