A Novel of the Garden
Originally published in 1950.
From his earliest years, Herbert Pinnegar loved flowers. When he was fourteen-years-old, he was required to visit the vicar who would help find a job on the farm. He did not want to work on a farm. Fortunately, the lady of the manor sat in on his interview and convinced the vicar to allow Herbert to work in her manor gardens. This interference provided Herbert, aka "Old Herbaceous", many years of delight --by gardening. I loved experiencing this man's life from a school boy through seventies with the best setting-a garden!
Individuals who love flowers, gardening, and British villages will find this book satisfying and relatable.
*Highly recommed.
