Floras Empire is a garden of delights for the reader interested in British India!By Dr. Elisabeth LenckosWho would think that reading about the gardens of the British in India would tell one so much about their way of life? A beautifully written work and very well researched; Floras Empire is an excellent source of information about a bygone era.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Interesting Facts. A Good ReadBy Rajiv ChopraThis is a very well-researched book; and quite well written indeed. The writing style is brisk and easy to read. It does not give a hint of deep erudition; which is good in that it makes the book approachable. I think that she was wise enough to confine herself to the British Gardens; with hints of information about the Mughal Gardens. Sadly our own literature does not seem to point in the direction of many gardens in the strictly Hindu tradition.I do think that we do need to be thankful to the Mughals for some of the great gardens that they created. These were works art; as the book clearly demonstrates. The British Gardens; while being really good; are the creations of individuals who had a passion for gardening. This is good in a way; because it made the gardens more democratic.The book is replete with hidden facts; and is a pleasure to read.
