Description

|
|
|
Secretive, aristocratic, and remote, the gardens of Dorset exist in a world of their own. Until 1900 this southern county remained the semi-feudal society that Thomas Hardy knew, and its gardens reflected Dorset's personality. Exquisite small manor houses of the 16th and 17th centuries lay tucked away, each with unambitious walled gardens, while others aimed higher, including Lulworth with the earliest Franco-Italian formal garden in the country and Melbury with its Norman forest with a Tudor deer park. As with the other books in the series (written to call attention to the individual garden characters of each of England's counties), scads of illustrations, including maps and photographs—16 pages in color—underscore Timothy Mowl's engaging text.
