ISBN: 9780711238404.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat things happen in gardens. No one can doubt the importance of the garden in Roald Dahls life as it was here where he worked, and here that he created James and the Giant Peach. And where would Jane Austen have been if she had never seen a walk, an ornamental lake, or a wilderness?\nGardens hold a special place in many authors lives. For Beatrix Potter, Hill Top house was made possible by the new found freedom and wealth that a literary career can bring; for Sir Walter Scott, laying out his garden at Abbotsford was a way of distracting himself from mounting debts.\nIn this book of 18 gardens and 20 writers, the author examines how the poet, writer, novelist derived a creative spirit from their private garden, how they tended and enjoyed their gardens, and how they managed their outdoor space.\nJane Austen at Godmersham and Chawton\nRupert Brooke at Grantchester\nJohn Ruskin at Brantwood\nAgatha Christie at Greenway\nBeatrix Potter at Hill Top\nRoald Dahl at Gipsy House\nCharles Dickens at Gads Hill Place\nVirginia Woolf at Monks House\nWinston Churchill at Chartwell\nLaurence Sterne at Shandy Hall\nGeorge Bernard Shaw at Shaws Corner\nTed Hughes at Lumb Bank\nHenry James followed by E.F.
