Gertrude Jekyll at Munstead Wood: Writing, Horticulture, Photography, Homebuilding - Hardcover
This is the untold story of the artistic life and business acumen of one of the most influential garden designers of the century. Jekyll's notebooks and personal photograph albums reveal areas of her life that she rarely wrote about and which are, as a result, unknown to all but a few.
