La cabane dans les arbres est le lieu de l''imaginaire profond et aussi le rêve retrouvé de l''enfance. Perdue au fond des bois ou lovée dans un coin de jardin, elle répond au besoin impérieux de se mettre un temps en marge de l''agitation du monde. Tel le Baron perché, grimpé dans son chêne pour n''en plus jamais redescendre, de plus en plus d''amateurs se laissent aujourd''hui tenter par les charmes d''un exil dans les feuillages, et choisissent de bâtir leur nid sur la fourche d''un bel arbre. Passés maîtres dans l''art de la construction arboricole, Peter et Judy Nelson ont déniché d''étonnantes cabanes haut perchées, et nous invitent dans cet univers insolite. Simple abri de planches et de branchages ouvert aux quatre vents, improbable ermitage suspendu entre ciel et terre, cocon douillet blotti dans la ramure ou fol étagement de pièces, balcons et passerelles courant le long des branches, chaque cabane est une œuvre unique, née de l''audace et de l''imagination de son créateur.
