The Garden in the Clouds by Antony Woodward

The Garden in the Clouds by Antony Woodward

For anyone who's wanted to live the dream but never had the nerve to try.

'Told with a side-splitting brilliance that only a truly gifted writer can achieveNot one dull page...up there with Proust as a shimmering example of classic remembrance of things past.' Val Hennessy, Daily Mail '"Carry On" up a mountainside...uplifting...hilarious...In this thoughtful departure from standard "flit-lit", Antony Woodward breaks new ground - literally. What gives this book an edge is the way the author interlaces gardening tales with his family story. Although [it] will appeal to Britain's millions of gardeners, "The Garden in the Clouds" is much more than a horticultural tale. It is testimony to what can be achieved with a dash of imagination and a very British refusal to admit defeat.' Sara Wheeler, Mail on Sunday 'I set out determined to dislike the book, and I completely failed to do so. There can be no higher praise than that ... I read [it] through in one sitting, at first from malice, then for enjoyment.' Byron Rogers, Spectator 'Woodward's tongue-in-cheek account of finding, making and growing his own little patch of heaven is right on the button.' The Times

Antony Woodward is the author of the bestselling "Propellerhead" and co-author of the 2007 Christmas book "The Wrong Kind of Snow". He has written columns for Country Life and Tatler, and before that won many awards as an advertising copywriter. For some reason all his books so far have had something to do with clouds.
