This is a guidebook to the restored home of Charles Darwin, Down House, written by the former curator of Down House and the Darwin Museum. It describes a tour of the downstairs rooms, which include Darwin's study, drawing room, dining room and billiards room, along with the furniture and possessions of the Darwins. It also surveys the exhibition area on the first floor, which tells the story of Darwin's life and work. Finally, it describes the gardens and Darwin's "thinking path", where he formulated many of his evolutionary theories, and the greenhouse and laboratory where he carried out many of his experiments on plants and insects.
