Illingworth, John & Routh, Jane - Reginald Farrer: Dalesman, planthunter, gardener

University of Lancaster, 1991.Centre for North-west regional studies, occasional paper no.19.Plastic-coated paper covers.ISBN: 090127285X.V.g./No Jacket.Published to coincide with an exhibition at the University of Lancaster organised by the Peter Scott Gallery, this multi-author appreciation (including a short tribute by W.T.Stearn) is a well balanced account of Farrer's short life and interesting career as an author and plant collector.Described in the blurb as an ""exuberant, many-sided individualist"" Farrer comes over as a rather sad figure, who was to meet a tragic end in Burma.The one omission is any serious consideration of the garden history of the family home on the slopes of Ingleborough: a deficiency which is yet to be remedied.As Stearn rightly says, ""No one will ever again enrich and enliven the literature of horticulture as Reginald Farrer did"".In English.1 kg.
