A wonderful book ... generous with excitement and adventures and love. Reading it, I felt glad to be alive * Xandra Bingley, author of Bertie, May and Mrs Fish * Quirky, touching, wayward, sensuous ... An unforgettable journey of the senses. Irresistible * Sir Roy Strong * Her book everywhere celebrates happiness, amounting to a litany of sensuous joys: lists and speculations, observations and memories, much for her great grand children, but also for us, and then for Mirabel herself. It is full of darting wit and wry quirky wisdom... a prose often casually gorgeous and is absolutely unlike anyone else. She is a rebel and a rule breaker, always her own person. You can detect none of the usual professional garden-writer's know all smartness in her evocations of what is it like to create a garden. She is refreshingly witty about her ignorance and mistakes, eloquent about failure * Independent *
