Sunlight On The Lawn: Beverley Nichols

Merry Hall III. The frantic early work of restoration is over; the trees grow tall, flowers bloom in abundance, and the layout reaches its final design stage. There's detailed, witty accounts of local arguments and dramatic social friction between memorable neighborhood personalities - such as Miss Emily and "Our Rose".  Nichols embarks on eccentric property updates, including hauling dirt pile by dirt pile to construct a miniature mountain on the grounds and installing a dramatic balustrade. Told with  practical, observational gardening insights with lighthearted comedy of manners and affectionate domestic memoir.
