This celebratory volume contains tales and anecdotes of meals and conversations with one of England's most famous gardeners, who was also a prolific garden writer. Written by other gardeners, writers, artists, and other friends and visitors, the anecdotes convey Lloyd's immense personality, his graciousness as a host, and his equally notorious irascibility. The volume is filled with superb photos of the house and garden in all seasons, as well as photos of Lloyd and many of the contributors. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
