A Field Guide to Wonder
There is magic in books. Jan Etherington thought she had left it behind when she fell in love with a gardener, but a slim volume of 'juvenile non-fiction' has opened up a whole new world.
Not easy to name my favourite gardening book.Largely because I didn't have one, until about a month ago.
For most of my life, my favourite books have had nothing to do with gardening.
When I was very young, I wanted to be an ice skater. My favourite books then were Noel Streatfeild's ice skating series, especially White Boots: 'Harriet's best friend Lalla dreams of being the best skater in the world – but when Harriet discovers her own natural talent on the ice, the girls' friendship comes under threat. Will Harriet choose Lalla, or her own glittering future?'
