Reviews"While the ostensible topics are houses and people, it is Nichols' love of gardening, and the villagers who either encourage him or thwart him in its pursuit, that remains the lively theme through all the books." - Seattle Times , September 2005, At first glance, the book might appear sweet and a little cute, but don't be fooled. Nichols knows how to throw out a few zingers and reveal his true feelings with a good dose of sarcasm. Nichols is as observant as Jane Austen, as witty as Oscar Wilde, and as sentimental as James Herriott. He also happens to be as funny, timely, and un-P.C. as Jon Stewart.

SynopsisThis reprint of the third book in Nichols's Allways trilogy contains a new foreword by Bryan Connon, Beverley Nichols's biographer. Set in the English countryside, the hilarious memoir is as much about the author's love for plants as it is about the village in which he lived. The depictions of flowers and ornamentals--"A single one of those gloxinias would be an event in Allways. . . I should give a party for it"--are both inspiring and unforgettable. This is the voice of one whose chief endowment is an appreciation for plants and the landscape, including a keen understanding of the importance gardens play in an increasingly modern world., This reprint of the third book in Nichols' Allways trilogy contains a new foreword by Bryan Connon, Beverley Nichols' biographer.

Perfect in every way!!!
I just discovered this author and love his books, of which I now have 8. Beautiful stories surrounding British home and gardens of the early to mid 20th century, told with gentility and wit. As a writer, Beverley Nichols had a wide circle of friends, encompassing some of the most notable people of the time. Those stories as well as the ones about his everyday acquaintances and his grand gardens will bring a smile to your face~ I also appreciate the utmost tender care someone took in preparing my book for mailing!🥰Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
