Mackenzie in gilt to the front cover. 8vo. 9½'' x 6¼''. The first edition was printed in 1903 in French, this second edition was published in 1907, the third in 1912, and the current fourth edition in 1921. Contains photographic frontispiece portrait with tissue-guard, 880 printed pages of text. From Mairi Mackenzie with lovely illustrated family bookplate looking out over Loch Ewe from Inverewe House to the front free end paper, text across the top of the bookplate 'Some in the Sun and Some in the Shade' referring to plants grown at Inverewe, below her printed name 'Mairi Mackenzie'. Slight age tanning to the text block edges and down the spine, rubbing to the corners, spine ends rolled over and in Very Good square and tight condition. By the time Mairi was born, Osgood Mackenzie was 17 years into his lifelong project. Her parent's marriage broke down while she was still young, and she seems to have spent part of her time with her mother. However, it seems that while still a child she became enthused with her father's vision and worked alongside him to help turn it into reality. In 1907 at the age of 28, Mairi married Robert Hanbury. When Osgood Mackenzie died in 1922, the work of completing Inverewe Garden was carried forward by Mairi. Robert Hanbury died in 1933, and in 1935 Mairi married Ronald Sawyer, a landowner and farmer. Together they rebuilt Inverewe House, which had stood ruined since a serious fire in 1914, and under their stewardship, her father's dreams of Inverewe Garden developed into reality.
