Mrs C. W. Earle (1836-1925) was born into the minor aristocracy as
Maria Theresa Villiers. After training as an artist, she married
Captain C. W. Earle, who inherited family property which enabled a
comfortable lifestyle with a town house in London and a small
property with a large garden in Surrey. Earle's designs for her
garden were much admired by her artistic and literary circle, and
she was encouraged to write down her gardening advice. This work,
published in 1899, followed on from the success of her Pot-Pourri
from a Surrey Garden (1897). It contains a similar collection of
writings on gardening, cookery, travel and art, in chapters which
follow the horticultural year from September to August. An
introductory section describes with verve and good humour the
critical reception of Earle's earlier book, and her reasons for
writing another.
