I Think I'm in Love
Where have you been all my life, Beverley Nichols?
I stumbled upon this indescribably charming book in a quest for entertaining reading, having seen glowing mention of the gardening series in the Bas Bleu catalog for several years. When I found a used copy for small dollars on Amazon, I decided to give it a try. What a delight. How worth the full price of new volumes.
I'm not a gardener, although I do enjoy other's gardens and I especially enjoy reading about gardens and gardeners. I've delighted in Gladys Tabor for years and thought I would never find anyone to surpass her. Nichols does the job.
His prose is glowing. His descriptions of plants and people awaken the imagination with flights of fancy. I find myself cheering him on in his quest for objets d'art and flowering fauna and thrill with him as he watches them grow and his garden develop.
What a shame a talent like this had to die! But we all do, and Ms Gladys Tabor did, as well. Surely heaven is blooming expansively because of these two. I only hope they met over tea, shared some of their gardening experiences and went on to enthrall the Heavenly Host as they develop their heavenly gardens.
Refreshing
A great follow on to 'Down the Garden Path' which I read eons ago. It's a book one can relax with, put up the feet, laugh and be at peace with nature.
