About the Book

'Absorbing and readable ... a genuine classic.' The Lady 'A must for understanding the woman, her work and her time.' American Gardener '[A] delicious volume by two leading experts ... explains the processes and the very human side of a garden designer whose legacy endures.' Country Life Gertrude Jekyll, one of the most influential garden designers of the early twentieth century has had a lasting impact on modern gardening. In this classic work, Judith Tankard and Martin Wood explore Jekyll's life and work at Munstead Wood, the Arts and Crafts style house in Surrey, designed for her by Edwin Lutyens, where she lived and gardened from 1897 until her death in 1932. Featuring Jekyll's own photographs, scrapbooks and notebooks, and the recollections of contemporaries from Edith Wharton and Vita Sackville-West to William Robinson and Henry Francis Du Pont, the authors' carefully researched volume, beautifully illustrated throughout, provides an unparalleled portrait of the doyenne of garden design through the study of her greatest inspiration.

About the Author :
Judith B. Tankard is an architectural and garden historian. She taught at the Landscape Institute of Harvard University for more than 20 years until her retirement in 2008. She is the author of many books on landscape history including Gertrude Jekyll and the Country House (Rizzoli, 2011). Martin Wood is a noted interior designer and writer on interior decoration. Previous books include Nancy Lancaster: English Country House Style (Frances Lincoln, 2005), John Fowler: Prince of Decorators (Frances Lincoln, 2007) and Sister Parish: American Style (Frances Lincoln, 2011) and On the Fringe, with Imogen Taylor (Pimpernel Press, 2016). Martin Wood lives in Yorkshire.

Review :
"[A] delicious volume by two leading experts . . . this book explains the processes and the very human side of a garden designer whose legacy endures." "Dextrously explores her many interests and varied talents to give an intriguing insight into the world of this indomitable gardener, artist and craftswoman." "Absorbing and readable...a genuine classic." "This book . . . explores the many activities and enterprise in which she [Jekyll] was engaged and so presents us with a fuller picture of this remarkable woman - artist, craftswoman, designer, photographer and author. It is an excellent book, interesting, informative and enjoyable to read." "A poetic portrayal that strips back the formidability of Gertrude Jekyll, exposing her warm, yet vulnerable personality." "I expect an in-depth reading will bring color to the gray days ahead this winter." "Gertrude Jekyll at Munstead Wood is certainly worth a reissue by Pimpernel Press and shouldn't be allowed to go out of print. Tankard is an outstanding garden writer and the modern photographs by Wood augment wonderful historic black and white photos of the gardens Jekyll designed."
