A book that is likely to become a classic. The beautiful Water Colour paintings and delicate pencil drawings of some of the most famous Gardens in and around London, add greatly to the interest of the letter-press. Special permission was granted by Queen Alexandra to Miss Macgregor to make sketches in the precincts of Marlborough House. Miss Macgregor, who was a favourite pupil of Sir Frederick Leighton, has been a regular Exhibitor at the Royal Academy. The text gives a most exhaustive survey of London Gardens and their History, from the days of the Norman Conquest. Both by those who know and love their London and by many Americans and overseas Britons this unique book, with its fascinating accounts of Hogarth House, Walpole House, the Chelsea Physicke Garden, and many other historical backgrounds will be read with unfailing delight.
The book is a veritable treasure house of Garden Lore.
