Description

Hardback. First edition. Attractive dust jacket is illustrated b Alex Jardine. Illustrated endpapers, and drawings throughout the text also by Alex Jardine. 128pp. Indexed. Loosely enclosed is a brief, contemporary Suttons plant catalogue. Contemporary reviews of Fearon’s books claimed she was H. G. Wells’ gardener. Sadie Stein of The Paris Review noted in 2015: “As far as I’m concerned, Fearon’s entire oeuvre should be in print always, regardless of commercial considerations... Fearon’s output was tremendous, her energy seemingly inexhaustible. To read her—on gardens, on herbs, on parenting, on fancy cakes, on travel—is to be inspired, cheered, and exhausted by proxy.”
