It is an excellent book, interesting, informative and enjoyable to read."" * Irish Garden Plant Society * ""A poetic portrayal that strips back the formidability of Gertrude Jekyll, exposing her warm, yet vulnerable personality."" * Gardens Illustrated * ""I expect an in-depth reading will bring color to the gray days ahead this winter."" * Portland Press Herald (US) * ""Gertrude Jekyll at Munstead Wood is certainly worth a reissue by Pimpernel Press and shouldn't be allowed to go out of print.
