After publishing Scent Magic, an acclaimed memoir of plants,
gardens and scent, Isabel Bannerman couldn't leave the subject
alone. 'I came across the star-nosed mole, an adorable and
preposterous creature with a highly specialized sensory-motor
organ, while writing about the riches of the soil kingdom ... and,
somewhat mole-like ... as I was trying to write about the
impossibility of writing effectively about smell, I began to nose
around for great writers' solutions to this problem. How and how
much have writers considered the lilies of the field and how they
smell. I began grazing on literature and gathering in my stores of
quotes.' In reviews of Scent Magic, Isabel was lauded for 'putting
into words what so much escapes language. With a wonderful range of
reference and allusion, it's nothing less than poetry... (Evening
Standard)'. And in this anthology, with her beautifully written
linking passages bringing carefully chosen quotations together with
her dramatic, powerful and mysterious plant images, she evokes the
scented garden through poetry and prose spanning millennia, from
Ovid to Proust, Milton to George Eliot, and Emily Dickinson to
Alice Oswald.
