NB: Edward Ashdown Bunyard (18781939) was England's foremost pomologist (student of apples) and a significant gastronome and epicure in the 1920's and 30's. He wrote three books of national significance: A Handbook of Hardy Fruits (192025), The Anatomy of Dessert (1929), and The Epicure's Companion (1937, edited with his sister, Lorna). His family was the owner of one of England's most significant fruit nurseries, founded in 1796 in Kent. In his written work, Bunyard was important for his trenchant and enlightening explication of the charm of apples, surely England's most noble garden product, as well as pears and other fruits. Bunyard's life ended tragically with his suicide in 1939. Photographs/scans available upon request.
