More about the book

"In this beginners guide to amateur gardening, Geoffrey Newsomethe highly acclaimed translator of Capek's witty Letters from Englandhas captured the grace and irony of the original Czech to produce a volume that will be treasured equally by those who love gardening as a relaxation, those who loathe it as a chore, and those who have no interest in it whatsoever. For behind the practical advice and witty anecdotes lies a poetic evocation of the Garden of Eden. This book is a characteristic product of Capek's genius: amusing, informative, and full of a quizzical interest in people, animals, and plants."
