Offers a bumper crop of quotations concerning one of the world's most ancient and universal passions. This is a collection of poetry and prose, with writers such as Lewis Carroll, Louis L'Amour, Dorothy Parker, Alice B. Toklas, Robert Herrick and Henry David Thoreau - each one with something unique and astute (and often outrageous) to say about gardens and the people who make them. By the author of The Cook's Quotation Book and Dumpling Cookbook.
