More about the book
In this beginner's guide to amateur gardening, Geoffrey Newsome-the highly acclaimed translator of Capek's witty Letters from England -has 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.
