Rhapsody in Green

Beverley Nichols (1898–1983) was a prolific author, playwright, composer, and media personality. Though much of his work has been forgotten, his garden writing has stood the test of time. His amusing anecdotes, poetic contemplations, and penetrating observations speak to all gardeners — from houseplant killers to nursery professionals — and capture the joy, heartache, and hilarity of gardening. Compiled by Roy C. Dicks and drawn from fifteen of his best titles, readers will also delight in William McLaren’s original line drawings spread throughout the text. A must-have for Nichols fans, gardeners, and plant lovers.
