Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. BURT, Struthers [458] pp. Charles Scribner's Sons 1933 First Edition 7 1/2" x 5 1/2" Cover artwork by R.

Unconsciously he chose the swamp because it was the hardest possible place to start a botanical garden, and that afternoon, as has been said, he felt very much like God and very English.
