W. Earle (1836–1925) was born into the minor aristocracy as Maria Theresa Villiers. After training as an artist, she married Captain C. W. Earle, who inherited family property which enabled a comfortable lifestyle with a town house in London and a small property with a large garden in Surrey. Earle's designs for her garden were much admired by her artistic and literary circle, and she was encouraged to write down her gardening advice. With the help of her niece, Lady Constance Lytton (who provides an appendix on Japanese flower arranging), she published this book, the first of three, in 1897, and it was a great and immediate success. The reader is addressed directly and engagingly on topics ranging from gardening and cookery books to planting schemes, healthy recipes, interior decoration, and the rearing of boys and girls, together with plenty of practical advice on all aspects of gardening.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e January\u003cbr\u003e February\u003cbr\u003e March\u003cbr\u003e April\u003cbr\u003e May\u003cbr\u003e June\u003cbr\u003e July\u003cbr\u003e August\u003cbr\u003e September\u003cbr\u003e October\u003cbr\u003e November\u003cbr\u003e December\u003cbr\u003e Sons\u003cbr\u003e Furnishing\u003cbr\u003e A day in London\u003cbr\u003e Health\u003cbr\u003e Amateur artists\u003cbr\u003e Daughters\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Social \u0026amp; cultural history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Social \u0026amp; cultural history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Social%20\u0026amp;%20cultural%20history%20%5BHBTB%5D%22\"\u003eHBTB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266194198808,"sku":"9781108076678","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108076678i.jpg?v=1696751604","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/pot-pourri-from-a-surrey-garden-paperback-9781108076678","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
