Customer Review:
For fans of Beverley Nichols, this makes great bedtime reading; for those who have not had the pleasure of reading Nichols' books, it's a great introduction to his work.

The book isn't exactly a biography, but it tells the story of Luther Burbank, a man who was famous in his time for developing new plants, including the Russet potato and elephant garlic.

from ACC Distribution
Price: $119.73

Customer Review:
The author states that this work is a floral autobiography in which nothing very much happens and from which reading of its 28 chapters the reader will gain practically nothing towards a knowledge of gardening.
