Beverley Nichols fans, armchair gardeners, and literature enthusiasts will delight in this reprint of the second book in his Allways trilogy, with facsimile reproductions of Rex Whistler's original graceful illustrations and a new foreword by Roy C. Dicks. Nichols's humorous ruminations on life in the countryside, as always, are refreshing. The typical Nichols gardening anecdotes and familiar characters are there, as well as the author's beloved dog, Whoops, an inveterate spy with a habit of leaping to conclusions.

A Thatched Roof - Book 2 of the Allways Trilogy

Delightful reading by a wonderful writer. Although Nichols claim to fame is that of a garden writer, this book spends less time gardening (than the first) and more time repairing, and discovering his cottage at Allways. Nevertheless, whether read by a gardener or not, it is a wonderful and quick read as the author takes us in and out and up and down throughout his cottage as he attempts to make it not only habitable, but civilized. I look foward to the rest of this trilogy and his other 'gardening' books.

A cozy read

Cast yourself back to England circa the 1920s-30s, snuggle up in a comfy chair by the fireside, and get ready to be drawn into the life of Beverley Nichols, the village of "Allways," and the story of how a centuries-old thatched cottage was restored. A great vacation from the 21st century, cell phones, and the hurried/harried life.

Down the Garden Path, A Thatched Roof, Village in a Valley

I love this series of books by Beverley Nichols...I enjoy so much his writing style and the fact that he's just a "little" irreverent...I love his enthusiasm for his garden...He seems to have lived in a wonderful world of his own...Reading about it 70 years later is such a gift...Kelly Burgess.
