Reviews

"A fascinating and very British story mixing minor aristocracy and 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."
*The Art Newspaper*

"This book will get me through winter - it's a lesson in how to 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."
*Telegraph, Best Gardening Books*

"The first in-depth picture of Morris's long life."
*Telegraph*

"A valuable introduction to his subjects’ lives and works, with particularly good chapters on the garden and the food at Benton End."
*Spectator*

"Provides a compelling window onto the British avant-garde and its relationship with similar movements elsewhere in Europe."
*Literary Review*

"Enjoyably revealing."
*Gardens Illustrated*

"St Clair paints captivating and delightful portraits of  the greatest flower painter of the 20th century and his partner, giving them their rightful place in British art."
*Philip Mould*

"A well-researched and fascinating read."
*House & Garden*
