Product Description

Review
'[Ursula Buchan] makes a witty and warm companion, and imparts much practical information to boot' "No one writes with more clarity (and wit) about gardening than Ursula Buchan." -- Anna Pavord "England has a proud tradition of garden writing as literature. Ursula Buchan has signally contributed to that tradition." -- Sir Roy Strong "Deftly structured and concise. This is a perfect book for dipping into." -- The Field 20040101 "Buchan's prose is light and refreshing. ... Buchan is a self-deprecating and down to earth writer" -- The Field 20040101 "Buchan relishes her subject ... her irreverent manner makes for amsuing reading." -- The Field 20040101 "Another fine collection of gardening journalism ... an ideal gift for someone who loves gardening, the sort of gift you end up keeping yourself because you can't bear to let it go." -- The Countryman 20040101 "This assortment of prime picks from 15 years of Buchan's writing provides a witty and wacky perspective on all things green, from snakes to seaweed, and every wild possibility in between." -- The Good Book Guide 20031101 "Ursula writes with knowledge and authority, but also with great humour ... Put this by your bed and enjoy its eclectic charms." -- Gardener's World 20040401 "Lively, humorous and encouraging, this is a great read" -- The Field 20040101

5.0 out of 5 stars Ursula Buchan does it again!, 22 Oct 2003
By Mr. T. N. Wide "Tommy Wide" (Glapthorn, Northants) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Anyone familiar with Ms Buchan's work will already own her previous anthology of garden writing, the rather racily titled 'Good in a Bed', and so will know exactly what to expect-witty, eclectic, eccentric and beautifully written pieces that are so much more than the pedestrian uninspired approach that so often dogs garden writers. This is a book that is both accessible and erudite, funny and useful, imbued with warmth and her own inspired take on all things green. There is simply no-one else writing like Ms Buchan today- Buy it now!
