Norah Lindsay by Allyson Hayward
The life, work and times of the influential gardener Norah Lindsay, illustrated with 300 photographs of her Oxfordshire garden, her plantings, and her friends.
Admirably illustrated and full of letters and forgotten details which are fascinatingIt actually contains ideas about gardening which we should all take on board and some historical evidence which is extraordinarily valuable. -- Robin Lane Fox Financial Times This captivating, fulsomely illustrated study of a singular woman is the result of painstaking research, which has revealed that Norah was much more canny and businesslike than her image suggests... the life story is a riot of fun and colour, right up until the end. -- Tim Richardson Daily Telegraph An intimate portrait of upper-class life in the first half of the twentieth century, told almost exclusively from the letters, archives and conversations of Lindsay and her circle, and illustrated with a fine collection of then-and-now photographs.
