Review:
From the Publisher:
... a delightful collection of letters ... offers a unique insight into their successes and failures. Candid, amusing, revealing and informative
||My favourite read of the year is this entertaining correspondence between our two greatest living gardeners
||What links and distinguishes (in both senses) these two writers is that they never pass on a received opinion about a plant or gardening practice or theory. Everything they say is rooted firmly in observation and experience so their thoughts and opinions carry weight and value
||It is this book, I suspect, that many gardeners would most like to find at the ends of their beds when they wake up on Christmas morning
