"Martin Wood has studied far and wide for his excellent new book on this remarkable person and the result is the best title on taste and design published this year." (Financial Times)

"This book is a rare treat, fluently written and superbly illustrated, with a strong emphasis on gardens." (Daily Telegraph)

"Knocks the hundreds of books on interiors and gardens for six. Her vivid personality - charming, stylish, wilful, rich and funny - comes through the pages via her achievements in decoration and gardening." (Spectator)
