An historical novel following the fortunes of a family of gardeners in the C17th. John Tradescant is uniquely skilled in collecting new species of plants, and in creating wonderful gardens for the great houses and palaces of England. He and his family are caught up in the political upheavals of the time. This is a book I couldn't put down.
