London: Alfred A. Knopf, 1927. Slim quarto, pp (46), age-toned, cloth with paper title label on upper cover, the spine head slightly torn otherwise a good copy, in a slightly worn and frayed age-toned dustwrapper. Signed by Fothergill on the title page. [The content is slender - comprising pages arranged by colour, with a seasonal grid layout containing names of herbaceous plants and their heights. There is ample space for an owner to add their own records and selections. With a pencilled inscription on the front endpaper from Leslie Banks - possibly the 1930's actor ? ] [ John Fothergill, diarist and proprietor of the Spread Eagle in Thame in the 1920s and 30s, is probably one of the fore-runners of Basil Fawlty. He bristled with disapproval at all times. Among those on his hate list were shop girls, undesirables, bounders, salesmen, haughty females, people who only wanted to use the loos, people who only wanted to look at the garden, people who only dropped in to shelter from the rain and - just in case you think you would have passed all the above tests with flying colours - anyone who requested mint sauce with their lamb!]. Signed by Author. First Edition. Cloth. Good/Slightly worn and frayed.

"Honest and reliable service - every book hand-packaged with care."
The Sakuteiki, or "Records of Garden Making," was written nearly 1000 years ago, making it the oldest work on Japanese gardening; in fact, the oldest book on gardening in the world! In this edition of the Sakuteiki, the authors provide both an English-language translation of this classic work; and an introduction to the cultural and historical context that led to the development of Japanese gardening. A Japanese court noble wrote the Sakuteiki during the Heian period (794-1184). During this critical era in Japanese history cultural influences on poetry, clothing-and gardening-that had been imported from China and Korea over the previous centuries were reexamined and reinterpreted into their unique Japanese forms. The Sakuteiki contains the first systematic record of this new… Read More

Chatwin Books, 2021. First Edition. Trade Paperback. New. New! 'I know from my own experience that an evening spent tending my garden, after another incomprehensible day, brings a strength and calmness that no other activity can match. Is it the qualities associated with gardening, such as nurturing and the hard work of hands and heart, that are deficient in our culture? Much good writing has been done about the garden as a special place.' Madeleine Wilde's woodland garden on the south slope of Seattle's Queen Anne Hill was more than a "special place." It was her Sanctuary, her prism through which she explored the world and accomplished "much good writing." For two decades, starting in the early 1990s, Madeleine's "Notes from the Garden" delighted readers of the Queen Anne & Magnolia News in Seattle. Here, in luminous prose, is the best of her work from those years, ranging from hands-on advice for gardeners and would-be gardeners to poetically charged, often wry, insights into life in the tradition…
