Even now, 100 years since it was first announced, crowds of all ages have been enthralled by our country's tiniest royal palace. Queen Mary's Dolls' House, which is housed inside Windsor Castle, is not only the world's largest and best-known miniature palace. It's also a mesmerizing glimpse of early twentieth-century royal life, from the tiny, fully working gramophone in the nursery to the racks of real wine in the cellars, and the working lift. This was supposed to be a showcase of great British innovation, with a strictly adhered scale of 1:12 (1 in for what should actually be 1 ft). More than 1,500 leading craftsmen and women will donate their experience and their handiwork. Nonetheless, its most notable feature of all was its library. The leading writers, poets, and artists of the day were invited to pen miniature works. They jumped at the chance, creating hundreds of tiny books, paintings, and drawings. They included a new Sherlock Holmes tale by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, poems by Thomas Hardy, and Sir J.M.'s autobiography. Barrie, the Peter Pan books' author, is the author.

Michael Hodges, a tiny sand-duned island off the coast of Northumberland, discovers a place'swath of legend and myth' when he visits Lindisfarne, a tiny sand-duned island that you can visit when the tide permits.' The Gospels, a magnificent illustrated book published at the Priory on Lindisfarne, is one of the Anglo-Saxons' most important finds, according to Michael, who details that their resurrection is 'near-miraculous.' Lindisfarne was invaded by Vikings who took the manuscript's jewel-encrusted cover in 793 AD, but the remainder of the book was left behind. The Gospels are now back in Newcastle, exhibits at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle, where they were once held at The British Library in London.
