Attractive and engaging run through English historyBy AmpersandThis is an attractive book in your hands; hardbound and filled with colourful illustrations and garden photography. The text by Katie Campbell; especially the exceptional introduction covering the political and design trends of history leading up to the first distinctly English gardens; is generally a pleasure to read even though it wanders a bit.The chapter on the Victorian gardens of gentleman orchidologist James Bateman in Staffordshire; for example; examines the many and varied areas of Biddulph Grange with reference to the passions of the day; from evolution (Bateman was not a fan); to a fashionable interest in the Orient (he had Himalayan slopes and Chinese temples built). Other chapters wander off at times: the chapter on the Nymans estate devotes several pages to the changing fortunes and descendants of the Messel family who developed it; to the point where the reader is presented with potted biographies of offspring whose influence on either garden history or the design of Nymans is never established.Overall; though; the high quality of the photographs; including full-bleed prints over two pages; and the eclectic scholarship of the author is a rewarding and wonderfully detailed tour through its varied people; places and times.Would make an excellent gift for those with an interest in English history or garden design. The marriage of the two here is a fruitful one.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
