Description
Hardback. First edition. Attractive dust jacket is illustrated by Bernard Reynolds. Decorated throughout with woodcuts also by Bernard Reynolds. 301pp. Indexed. Contemporary reviews of Fearon’s books claimed she was H. G. Wells’ gardener. Sadie Stein of The Paris Review noted in 2015: “As far as I’m concerned, Fearon’s entire oeuvre should be in print always, regardless of commercial considerations... Fearon’s output was tremendous, her energy seemingly inexhaustible. To read her—on gardens, on herbs, on parenting, on fancy cakes, on travel—is to be inspired, cheered, and exhausted by proxy.”
