Paperback. Condition: New. Why do we pick up pebbles on the beach? What is it we see in them, and why do we take them home to display on our shelves? Is it their inherent beauty, their infinite variation, or simply their associations with a happy time and place? In this book - part social history and part practical guide - writer and pebble collector Christopher Stocks unearths the sometimes surprising story of our love-affair with pebbles, and considers how the way we see them today has been influenced over the years by artists, authors and even archaeologists. Printmaker Angie Lewin is widely admired for her alluringly stylish images of the natural world. She celebrates the experience of walking and sketching along the British coastline, often incorporating pebbles in her limited edition prints and paintings. Many of these feature in the book alongside a series of new images.

Hardback. Condition: New. The perfect armchair and gardening companion to the garden flowers of the British Isles. Christopher Stocks tells the fascinating tales of nineteen cultivated flowers and their journeys from distant corners of the world to British gardens, illustrated by the painter and printmaker Angie Lewin in this charming companion guide. The Book of Garden Flowers builds on the success of Angie Lewin's and Christopher Stocks' previous collaborations; The Book of Wild Flowers (Thames and Hudson, 2024) and The Book of Pebbles (Thames and Hudson, 2020.) While The Book of Wild Flowers explored the natural history of Britain's favourite wild species, The Book of Garden Flowers is more a social history, bringing into focus some of the remarkable people who introduced exotic plants to our gardens from around the globe, including: . Margery Fish, secretary to six successive editors at the Daily Mail, who rescued many cottage garden flowers from obscurity . Ellen Willmot, who employed over 100 staff in her garden and burned through a huge fortune thanks to her passion for plants, dying penniless and alone . Charles Dickens, who became obsessed with a particular pelargonium . John Gerrard, the famous 17th-century herbalist, who planted the first nasturtiums in the UK at his City of London garden . Henry VIII, who ate the first British-grown artichokes on the outskirts of Chelmsford Revealing new stories behind some of our most familiar and unusual garden plants, this beautiful book explores the horticultural history and floral folklore of some of the nation's favourite flowers.
