What do we need to look for on our visits? This is where the expert eye of Titchmarsh comes to the fore--not to mention his avuncular manner, as evident in his books as in his TV appearances. In tracing the history of magnificent royal gardens from medieval times to the present day, both sumptuous modern photography and evocative period illustrations are used to conjure the palaces and gardens for us (needless to say, many did not survive); the moods evoked by the gardens range from the modest and engaging to the awe-inspiring and epic, and Titchmarsh is equally adroit at catching the essence of each garden, from the serene splendour of Hampton Court’s Privy Garden to the Georgian gardens that are such a much-loved feature of Kew Gardens. Unlike most Titchmarsh books, this one does not present gardens that are easy to emulate, but most will find sheer pleasure in just looking. --Barry Forshaw
