Garden Open Today Author:Beverley Nichols Our re-release of Beverley Nichols's Merry Hall Trilogy and Bryan Connon's Beverley Nichols: A Life has renewed interest in Nichols's wonderful, witty, urbane, and delightful observations of gardens and people.

Our new facsimile edition includes a foreword and plant name index by Roy C. Dicks. A companion volume, Garden Open Tomorrow, will follow in the autumn.« less
