Gatherings from Spain by Richard Ford

Gatherings from Spain by Richard Ford

As soon as it appeared, Richard Ford's Handbook to Spain was hailed as a major work of literature. How far Ford had burst out of the guidebook genre was amply proved the next year when Murray's produced a compendium of the material they had forced Ford to discard from the Handbook. Characteristically, Ford also added much that was new, all of it treated with energy, diamond wit, and irresistible charm. This new edition of Gatherings from Spain is illustrated with drawings by Ford himself and his friends, and enriched by a fully annotated index.

Richard Ford graduated in botany from University College, London, followed by a postgraduate course specialising in plant pathology at Cambridge University. After 25 years in the crop protecting industry, Richard with his wife Mary set up Park Green Nurseries, which has now been established for over 25 years and specializes in Hostas. Richard and Mary have been awarded 180 gold medals for their hosta displays, this tally includes over 60 Royal Horticultural Society gold medals with seven awarded at the Chelsea Flower Show.
