delicious homosexual high jinks, grand country houses and Avant
Garde intrigue. The author’s prose flows easily and free of
pretension tickling one pink with his sprightly tone."

live and garden with passion and no particular rules but lots of
colour and flavour and the savour of food, drink, flowers and oil
paint."

End."

relationship with similar movements elsewhere in Europe."
