A Rage for Rock Gardening
by Nicola Shulman
Short and sweet, it says all that needs to be said about its subject and his plant hunting and writing. It’s a wonderful read about a bygone era, with lots of quotes from Farrer’s writing. Shulman certainly gets under the skin of the situation. If only all biographies were like that. My grandfather Euan Cox plays a starring role.
