Another five delicious writing huts for you to want.

Once more we open the creaky doors of the gnarly and wonderfully rustic, as well as the opulent and grand writer’s huts of famous writers through the years. Enjoy wishing you had one.

#1 — J.K. Rowling is building a replica of this to write in. Yes, an exact copy of Hagrid’s house in the grounds of her Scottish estate to continue penning her magical stories in. Seriously, how cool is this?

#2 — Joanna Briscoe uses this stunning writing hut in her London house’s grounds to pen modern novels probably as you read this. It looks so cosy. Jealous? We are!

#3 — Arthur Miller built this hut specifically to write Death of a Salesman in. He is said to have been unable to write a word of it until he had built the hut, despite never having built anything before.

#4 — Robert Stephen Hawker spent many an hour in this hut writing poems and smoking opium, looking out onto the cornish coast, probably through that little hole in the door.

#5 — Phillip Pullman wrote all three of his Dark Materials trilogy in the cosy confines of this shed in his Oxford garden. He says that the shed was originally built when his son started to learn how to play the violin.

We hope you liked this little dip into the huts in the grounds and gardens of wordsmiths past and present. Stay tuned for more huts, houses, offices, libraries, shelfies and all things book related.
