Books by Cyril Cowell

Adam the Gardener was drawn by Cyril Cowell, a much loved illustrator of the 1940s and 1950s who specialised in drawing animals and the natural world, especially for children's books (including Enid Blyton). It was written by Morley Adams, a journalist who was also credited with popularising the crossword in Britain. Alys Fowler has presented Gardeners' World and her own series, The Edible Garden. She has written several books and writes a weekly column on gardening for the Guardian Weekend magazine.
