This delightful collection of wisdom, insight and humor, from Diane
Ackerman to Emile Zola, captures the essence of the world's most
popular hobby. Here are over four hundred quotations -- not only
one-line zingers but stanzas of verse and full paragraphs of
narrative -- on the endless fascination of gardening. The great
gardening writers of past and present are amply represented, but
these varied selections also range the entirety of recorded
literature, from the Bible and the tenth-century Japanese diarist
Sei Shonagon through Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens, Walt Whitman,
and even Prince Charles.
For anyone who counts their hours in the soil as their most
valued, "The Quotable Gardener" is the ideal gift -- an invaluable
inspiration during the gardening months, and a treasured companion
during the long, desperate winter.
