Liontooth: the Story of a Garden
Author: Sara Sharpe
ISBN: 9780954947637

"It was early on a summer's morning. Sir Liontooth awoke and yawned, went out onto his balcony and looked at the garden. A wind ruffled the manes of the Indian Horse Chestnuts; he heard the growl of Dog Rose and saw the soft grey Lamb's Ears prick as a Panther Lily passed..." Liontooth is a beautifully written gardening classic which will captivate every romantic gardener. Stunningly illustrated by over 150 remarkable 19th century botanical illustrations, including the extraordinary Les Fleurs AnI'mes by the famous French illustrator Grandville. The book tells of Sir Liontooth, who lays down his sword and seeks happiness in the making of a beautiful garden. At first all is harmony; then enter discord and with it a herbaceous mix of treachery, betrayal, loss of identity and civil war which all but wrecks his dream. Liontooth is a battle between good and evil, peopled by exotic characters and one extraordinary heroine. The illustrations by Grandville and Maund perfectly complement this captivating story, and in addition the author provides planting notes to accompany the text.
