Penelope Lively has always been a keen gardener. This book is partly a memoir of her own life in gardens: the large garden at home in Cairo where she spent most of her childhood, her grandmother's garden in a sloping Somerset field, then two successive Oxfordshire gardens of her own, and the smaller urban garden in the North London home she lives in today. It’s also a wise, engaging exploration of gardens in literature, from Paradise Lost to Alice in Wonderland.©2017 Penelope Lively (P)2017 W.F.
