Críticas
In these amusing letters [Wilfrid Blunt] tells Flora about his new home, its eccentric citizens, and a great deal about plants and gardening, the latter an education that gardeners will appreciate. -- Lori D. Kranz "Bloomsbury Review" (03/01/2006) The letters are filled with wicked remarks about the neighbours, together with careful observations of plants and gardening practices; a gentle prod at those of us who take our gardening too seriously. -- Sue Tasker "Professional Gardener" (04/01/2006) " The letters are filled with wicked remarks about the neighbours, together with careful observations of plants and gardening practices; a gentle prod at those of us who take our gardening too seriously."

Reseña del editor
Wilfrid Blunt (1901-1987) is probably best known today as a biographer of Linnaeus and as the author of the classic study "The Art of Botanical Illustration." But Blunt also had his lighter side. "Of Flowers & a Village" is a novel written in the form of chatty letters from a doting godfather to his goddaughter, Flora, an enthusiastic (if inexperienced) gardener who is recovering from an illness that has left her temporarily bedridden. Although we learn a great deal about daily life in the village of Dewbury, the subject never strays far from gardening -- by the novel's end, both Flora and the reader have received a gentle but thorough horticultural education. Never has learning about gardening been so much fun.
