Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 176 pages : color illustrations ; 29 cm ; ISBN: 031227551X; 9780312275518; 9781841881423 LCCN: 2002-281759 ; LC: SB466.G8; Dewey: 712/.6/094241 ; OCLC: 46401271 ; purple cloth in color photographic dustjacket ; Contents: The setting -- The view from the house -- The cottage garden -- Wild flower meadow and woodland garden -- The arboretum and walled garden - Organic gardening at Highgrove. ; "When the marriage of Lady Di and Prince Charles fell apart, rumor had it part of the problem had to do with his gardening obsession. Gossip columns claimed Charles paid more attention to his gardens than his wife. The Garden at Highgrove takes readers on a tour of Charles`s favorite creation--a maze-like garden surrounding the estate where he has primarily lived for the past 20 years. Various styles thrive within the boundaries of the property: wildflower meadows, formal hedgerows, outdoor rooms, carefully plotted tapestries of Queen of Night tulips. If Diana complained of neglect, Highgrove`s landscape looks like it has been lavishly doted on. In one series of photos, we see the transformation of a large plot, viewed from the house, as it has been completely erased and re-created year to year. Who has time to complete and then entirely redo a garden on a regular basis? A prince, of course. Although the landscape glows with a vibrant, almost artificial green, Charles has long been a committed organic gardener. In the introduction he recalls the period when he came around to the cause of environmentalism. While driving through a declining English countryside in the 1960s and 1970s, "I remember longing to heal the countryside, to bind up its wounds and to reclothe it in its rightful form." The Garden at Highgrove will inspire gardeners, even those who don`t live in palaces, who are looking for images of elegance and can`t afford a staff to keep the hedges perfect. --Emily White" ; Candida Rose Lycett Green was a British author who wrote sixteen books including English Cottages, Goodbye London, The Perfect English House, Over the Hills and Far Away and The Dangerous Edge of Things.

See the entry in the Oxford DNB for his father the 1st Marquis. 2pp, 12mo. On the first leaf of a bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged and discoloured, with thin strip of glue from previous mount on reverse of second leaf. The recipient is not named, and he signs 'Hastings'. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir, / I made the necessary enquiries as to the entry in the Leicester registry (through a friend of our clergyman) & enclose his reply [not present] - I fear it is not what you wished for.' He might get 'more satisfactory information' if the recipient can give a 'better clue to go by'. Turning to his painting collection he writes: 'The picture you were good enough to send me is already established amongst the portraits of his relatives, & I have at last got all my pictures up, & flatter myself they are now a very nice little collection, & amongst them many of great value & merit.' Unfortunately Dr Waagen ('Treasures of Art in Great Britain', 1854), in his peregrination around the country, was 'obliged to miss Donnington Hall, the seat of the Marquis of Hastings, with a collection of Dutch pictures and portraits', so we must do without his evaluation of the collection.
