"Long experience has taught me that people who do not like geraniums have something morally unsound about them. Sooner or later you will find them out; you will discover that they drink, or steal books, or speak sharply to cats. Never trust a man or a woman who is not passionately devoted to geraniums." - Beverley Nicols
Down the Garden Path has stood the test of time as one of the world's best-loved and most-quoted gardening books. Ostensibly an account of the creation of a garden in Huntingdonshire in the 1930s, it is really about the underlying emotions and obsessions for which gardening is just a cover story. With lovely drawings by Rex Whistler and beautifully illustrated pastedowns. A bestseller through the decades, proved by its publishing history. First published 1932 by Jonathan Cape, London, it was already in its 13th impression by September 1933. This is the 13th impression. Condition: Very good for its age. Foxing on edges of book block. Gift inscription in front. Piece torn out of dust jacket at top and spine. Tears at edges. Cloth-bound hardboard under jacket immaculate.
