Helpful Score: 3
I enjoyed this book enormously, but am ashamed to admit that I had completed both this book and its sequel before I realized that the main characters, John Tradescant the Elder and his son, (John the Younger)were true historical figures. They were the first botanists in England and England's most famous gardeners. A teriffic story of a man's unquestioning loyalty to his master and King. If you read this book, be sure to follow up with the sequel, Virgin Earth. Philippa Gregory never disappoints me.
