Review:
A deeply reseached, well-deserved account of his energetic life and achievements, though the latter are too numerous for them all to be discussed. --House and Garden
A valuable and well-illustrated work of scholarship, one that goes a long way towards defining an undoubtedly significant, but strangely ungraspable, figure in the history of garden design. --Country Life
A thoughtful and comprehensive biography of a important figure in early 20th century landscape design. --Victorian
An extraordinarily detailed and richly illustrated record of Mawson's work both on paper and on the ground... Understanding Mawson helps us to understand his times; he deserves to be remembered for his faults as well as his virtues and in this handsome volume Janet Waymark has served him well. ----Times Literary Supplement

Thomas Haytor Mawson (1881-1933) began designing gardens in the 1890s. He forged his distinctive style - solid formality round the house with foreground terraces and balustrades - in the Lake District, where his genius allowed the garden to open out into the landscape. From humble beginnings he was soon the most sought-after garden and landscape designer of the day. He could name crowned heads of Europe as his clients and friends, as well as self-made industrialists such as Lord Leverhulme and Andrew Carnegie. In 1908 he was chosen to design the Peace Gardens at The Hague. Mawson, who was a great teacher and advocate for landscape architecture as a profession, published five editions of The Art and Craft of Garden Making between 1900 and 1926. His Civic Art, reflecting his great interest in the design of towns and public parks, came out in 1911. This is the first full biography of this energetic and prolific landscape architect. It is full of new material and images collected from Mawson's relatives as well as from public and private sources.The author took her camera throughout the United Kingdom and Europe and travelled across Canada to discover the full story of Thomas Mawson's life and work.
