Clare
Leighton was one of the finest engravers of the twentieth century. In
the 1930s, when she settled in the countryside with her long-term
partner, the political journalist Henry Noel Brailsford, she turned her
creativity to the land. Gardening became her passion. Her obsession.
This is the story of the garden she carved from meadowland deep in the
Chiltern Hills. "Phrases and images fill you with delight...This is the
most honest writing I've ever read". (Carol Klein).
