Merry Hall (Beverley Nichols Trilogy Book 1)
Published in 1951, this example of "garden literature" relates how author Nichols constructed a massive garden on a run-down estate. Not a straight "how-to," Nichols's text also includes humorous portraits of the locals who both assist and frustrate his efforts. The text is buttressed with numerous black-and-white drawings.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
