The Writer's Garden: How gardens inspired the world's great authors
by Jackie Bennett, Jackie Bennett, Richard Hanson
If you are interested in famous writers from Beatrix Potter to Emile Zola and then want to add in a bit of architecture and lots of gardening, then this book is for you.
It is a lovely combination of writing and photographs that take you right into the gardens and down the paths of exploration.
Jackie Bennett has done a fantastic job of explaining how the gardens came into the writers’ possessions and then how they continued to cultivate the land. She also brings us right up to the 21st century and tells us how the gardens have been preserved and which you are able to ramble around in.
All in all, a lovely coffee table book.
Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion and NetGalley for the eArc in exchange for my honest review.
