Gertrude Jekyll by Sally Festing |
Mention Gertrude Jekyll to any gardener and they will talk at length about her influence on garden design and choice of plants, but you will glean few if any details about her life. This detailed biography completes the picture and sets her work in the context of a busy and entertaining life.

Out of the Woodshed - The Life of Stella Gibbons by Oliver Reggie |
Everyone seems to have read and enjoyed 'Cold Comfort Farm' at some time, but until recently when I was given this book I knew nothing about Stella Gibbons. Her life as journalist and author sheds a new light on cold comfort.
