Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Clare Leighton The Sumach Press 1991 167pp Hardback. Dust jacket intact. Very good condition. First published in 1935 , this account of the gardening year is illustrated with beautiful woodcuts ( clearly influenced by Eric Gill) by the author. A handsome volume. In 1930 Clare Leighton bought a plot of land on a sloping site in the Chilterns. Here, she and Noel Brailsford built a house and created a garden from the "rough meadowland". This book tells of a year in the life of that garden. The author portrays the seasonal changes, from the unfurling of the iris stylosa in the dead of winter, to the warmth of June when the garden belongs to the birds. The text is illustrated with Clare's own wood engravings.
