A book about gardening restoration is not something I would usually read, but there was something very appealing about this trilogy. Down the Garden Path is the first book in one of the two gardening trilogies that Nichols produced. Though some of his most popular works seem to have been his books of gardening and house restoration. That was pretty much my only experience of Beverley Nichols – until many years later – a few blogging friends began sharing their love of his adult books, their enthusiasm ensuring that I soon acquired some for myself.īeverley Nichols was an enormously prolific writer – journalism, politics, autobiography and novels. I think we carry the books we loved as children with us somewhere – though I’m hopeless at remembering the titles of many of them now.
I even remembered the author (as a child I thought Beverley Nichols was a woman, and it was many years before I discovered my mistake).
I loved every word of that little book and have remembered it ever since. Way back sometime in the 1970s – when I was a very little girl, but already in love with books I read a book called The Tree that Sat Down by Beverley Nichols.
