Eleanour Sinclair Rohde is unsurpassed in her historical studies of the English garden and, its craft; the old English gardening books surveyed in this volume range from 1503 to 1706, and her appraisal is, both learned (with an extensive Bibliography) and entertaining. The plates and plans from contemporary sources would themselves make it possible to reconstruct a knot garden or a maze, even a small replica Elizabethan or Stuart garden, but it is chiefly in recapturing the mellow atmosphere, the formal charm, the vanished delights of old-fashioned horticulture that the author has excelled.
