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. With the
help of her niece, Lady Constance Lytton (who provides an appendix
on Japanese flower arranging), she published this book, the first
of three, in 1897, and it was a great and immediate success. The
reader is addressed directly and engagingly on topics ranging from
gardening and cookery books to planting schemes, healthy recipes,
interior decoration, and the rearing of boys and girls, together
with plenty of practical advice on all aspects of gardening.
