Running to nearly 260 pages, it sounds strange to be saying that the book could do with being longer, but you genuinely fee! that with this latest offering from the 20th Century Society. Though with an average two pages per project, it soon becomes clear that running through a potted history of the last 100 years of British landscaping was always going to be a pretty tail order. But it is still done with authority and aplomb. The book is a pleasure to pore over, covering Gertrude Jekyll's gorgeous private gardens, through Geoffrey Jellicoe's sublime landscapes of industry to Piet Oudolf's contemporary perennial borders. Restores your faith in the domestic landscsape!
