I know I made this sound like a diversion, which in some ways it is for me, I want to emphasize that the short profiles offer some excellent insights into each writer's influences. So this volume stands on its own as both an attractive coffee table book and an informative guide to the role of gardens in literature.
When I said profiles above, I should clarify that both the gardens and grounds as well as the writer are profiled. I found it to be a wonderful blend of detail about the gardens, how the gardens influenced the writers, and a few specific instances of locations being used within their works of fiction. It actually made me pull a couple volumes off my shelves and put in my TBR stack, it has been too long since I have revisited them and this new perspective will offer me another avenue into them. Not to mention that Woolf was prominent in another book I recently read.
Whether you simply want an attractive and informative coffee table book or you're especially interested in what has influenced some of our greatest writers, this volume will be an excellent addition to your library.
