Sissinghurst: Portrait of a Garden

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A truly stunning tribute to the beauty and spirit of a garden that continues to draw admirers from around the world. Available again in paperback. Created in the shell of a moated 16th-century manor house in the 1930s by writers Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson, the garden at Sissinghurst has a romantic aspect that is unsurpassed. Now, in 120 color images, here is Sissinghurst in all its aspects: the graceful lime walk, the lush expanse of roses, the herb and cottage gardens, the orchard, the serene beauty of the fabled White Garden. Jane Brown records the history of the house and the making and maintaining of the gardens; above all, however, she conveys the spirit and inspiration that created it. Jane Brown's many works include Vita's Other World and The English Garden in Our Time. 144 pp 9 x 10 120 color photos
