John Simpson recommends
The Plant Hunter (2022)
T L Mogford
"It's excellent. No other word for it. I found the period and technical detail absolutely fascinating, and the characterisation really convincing. A beautiful, charming book that stays in the mind long after you've closed it and put it away. I was delighted by it."
The Sandpit (2020)
Nicholas Shakespeare
"Quite simply excellent. If you're looking for something exciting and sinewy to read, this is it. There's no mistaking quality when it appears in book form."
