Publisher's Synopsis
The RHS Treasury of Garden Verse is a celebration of the garden through poetry and botanical art, spanning the centuries and the globe. With an array of gardening classics, perennial favourites and more recent contributions from Dorothy Parker, Sylvia Plath and John Agard, there's something for everyone. Its companion volume, The RHS Treasury of Garden Writing, captures the same spirit through the prose of authors ranging from Jane Austen and Gustave Flaubert to Christopher Lloyd and Beth Chatto. Presented in a slipcase, these two literary anthologies make the perfect gift for any lover of art, literature or gardening. Both are illustrated throughout with botanical prints and engravings from the remarkable collection of the Royal Horticultural Society's Lindley Library.
