Description: Jackie Bennett. SHAKESPEARE'S GARDENS. London: Frances Lincoln Publishers, an imprint of The Quarto Group, 2021. Updated edition, first thus with full number line. Lavishly illustrated with photographs by Andrew Lawson. 10⅞” x 9⅛”, 192-page pictorial hardcover, with no dust jacket as issued, in brand new, unread condition. This title was originally released in 2016, to coincide with the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death. The updated 2021 edition includes expanded descriptions and further photography. Additionally, several charming illustrations from Gerard's Herball, or, Generall Historie of Plantes (1597) are interspersed throughout the book. The author's well-researched text devotes chapters to each of the properties associated with the Bard in and around Stratford-upon-Avon and others in London. As one reviewer notes, “botanically-oriented quotations from Shakespeare's plays and poems are featured frequently throughout the book, reinforcing his great familiarity with and interest in the uses and appearances of many plant species.” This is a volume sure to please anyone with a fondness for Shakespeare, a love of gardening -- or both.
