Green Grows the City: The Story of a London Garden
Beverley Nichols
Garden Art Press
, 1997
Filled with garden design ideas...
I've read the Nichols' trilogy ('Merry Hall', 'Sunlight on the Lawn', 'Laughter on the Stairs') and recommmend them all, but I enjoyed this one the most. Maybe that's because I live in an urban area, have a small odd-shaped yard, a cat and two dogs, and nutty ...
Merry Hall (Beverley Nichols Trilogy Book 1)
Beverley Nichols
Timber Press, Incorporated
, 1998
Charming, Engaging Read
The first volume of a trilogy about the author's time at Merry Hall, this book is more humorous garden writing than strict autobiography. We know (primarily from the dust jacket) that Beverley Nichols was a widely-travelled journalist and prolific author, but aside ...

Cats and old fashioned charm
This is a wonderful, charming book about cats by the famous gardening writer Beverley Nichols. His books take place in midcentury England and are absolutely wonderful. There is a equally charming sequel, Cats X. Y. Z., and several garden writing books (not how-to's, ...
Laughter On The Stairs (Beverley Nichols Trilogy Book 2)
Beverley Nichols
Timber Press, Incorporated
, 1998
UPROARIOUS FUN!
A delightful read! Mr. Nichols (in a very "proper" British fashion) describes his hilarious adventures in home decorating and remodeling. His run-ins with his snobby neighbors can not be missed! If you love gardens, cats, home decorating, or if you just love to ...
Village in a Valley (Beverley Nichols's Allways Trilogy)
Beverley Nichols
Timber Press, Incorporated
, 2005
VILLAGE IN A VALLEY
I was a bit disappointed in this book - Beverley seems to have not been as interested in his subject as he was in the other 2 books of this trilogy, and he became quite morbid in the last section. Perhaps he was in a hurry to get the book finished, or wasn't well at ...
Sunlight On The Lawn (Beverley Nichols Trilogy Book 3)
Beverley Nichols
Timber Press, Incorporated
, 1999
Witty and Wonderful
Beverley Nichols had a rare talent. His writing is witty and humane and perfect for relieving the stress of life lived in the modern world. When you read this book you will be saddened that only two others of his sixty odd minor masterpieces are still in print. Buy ...
Garden Open Today
Beverley Nichols
Timber Press, Incorporated
, 2002
What a find!
If Bertie Wooster and Gertrude Jekyll had a son, surely he would have been Beverley Nichols. Anglophile gardeners, cat, music and humor lovers will adore Nichols' superb story-telling in this book and its sequel 'Garden Open Tomorrow'. The illustrations aren't too ...
Down the Garden Path
Beverley Nichols
Timber Press, Incorporated
, 2004
Wonderful pre-war English Charm
A thoroughly charming book with a lovely pre-war atmosphere. It is about gardening yes, less about the technical than about the wonders. That weird, ratty vine you chopped down to get rid of, which bloomed like the Dickens two months later, the neighbor who knows ...
Garden Open Tomorrow

Top Cat Gardener Nichols
Beverley Nichols writes, as always, with gentle, dry humor in Garden Open Tomorrow. He provides a refreshing look at a bygone day and reminds the reader, by example, that a garden is, indeed, a place of constant renewal, even when it makes much work for the gardener. ...
