The Writer's Garden by Jackie Bennett
In this book of 25 gardens, the author examines how the poet, writer, novelist derived a creative spirit from their private garden, how they tended and enjoyed their gardens, and how they managed their outdoor space."Bennett also provides fascinating information as to which of the author's books were written while they were in residence at a particular outdoor space, and a useful appendix supplies practical details on visiting the gardensThe icing on this sumptuous literary cake is Hanson's spectacular photographs, which will instantly transport readers to the verdant paradises so lovingly described by Bennett. VERDICT A rare treat for both ardent fans of the individual writers and armchair enthusiasts of English gardening."
