Hodnotenie knihy

Viac o knihe

"The two central activities in my life - alongside writing - have been reading and gardening." Penelope Lively has always been a keen gardener. This book is partly a memoir of her own life in gardens : the large garden at home in Cairo where she spent most of her childhood, her grandmother's garden in a sloping Somerset field, then two successive Oxfordshire gardens of her own, and the smaller urban garden in the north London home she lives in today. It is also a wise, engaging and far-ranging exploration of gardens in literature, from Paradise Lost to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and of writers and their gardens, from Virginia Woolf to Philip Larkin.

Pokud bavila mě znamená vždy mě skvěle před spaním uspala a měla jsem sny o kytičkách a zahradách, tak jo. Skvělej dárek pro babičku btw
