Christopher Stocks is writer, runner and trainee bell-ringer, who divides his time between London and Dorset.

His first book, Forgotten Fruits, a social history of British fruit and vegetables, became an unlikely success, with Monty Don choosing it as his favourite book of the year.

The Book of Pebbles, illustrated by Angie Lewin, was published in hardback in 2019 and paperback in 2020. According to Country Life, ‘For anyone unable to walk along a beach without stopping every few steps to pick up a lozenge of quartz washed by the receding tide or a grey-slate skimmer, this book is an ideal companion.’

His new book, The Book of Wild Flowers, also with Angie Lewin, is out now. Chris and Angie are now working on their third book together, also for Thames & Hudson.

A journalist as well as an author, Christopher has written about architecture, gardens, design and perfume for Country Life, House & Garden, Wallpaper, Gardens Illustrated and Architectural Digest.

Fascinating fruits

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2009

Now that I am semi-retired from my job as a teacher, I, at last have some time to devote to my garden.I have discovered the delights of fruit and vgetable growing and our family meals have been supplemented this year by home grown broad beans, peas, potatoes, various herbs and strawberries. In addition I'm hoping that my runner beans will provide a decent crop despite the inclement weather this summer. My apple crop also looks promising.Whilst enjoying eating my home grown produce, I've also enjoyed reading about the history of many well known fruits and vegetables in this fascinating little book. This has kept me occupied when it has been pouring down outside.

A good book with some odd omissions

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

I liked this book, and it was interesting to read about the history of some of the old varieties of fruit and vegetables out there. That being said, there seemed to be some odd omissions for a book called 'Forgotten Fruits' - what happened to the chapters on Medlars and Quinces, for example, both of which were cultivated in the UK historically but have now been forgotten by the vast majority of people?
