Description:
London: Chatto & Windus, 2004. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Good Plus/Very Good. First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 21.5 × 17cm, 342pp. Signed directly to the title page by Jenny Uglow. Drawn from Jenny Uglow's own love for plants, this lively 'potted' history of gardening in Britain takes us on a garden tour from the thorn hedges around prehistoric settlements to the rage for ornamental grasses and 'outdoor rooms' today. Tracking down the ordinary folk who worked the earth - from weeding women to florists - as well as aristocrats and grand designers and famous plant-hunters, A Little History of British Gardening is brought to life by gorgeously vivid illustrations and Uglow's insightful wisdom. Not only dealing with flowery meads, grottoes and vistas, landscapes and ha-has, parks and allotments, Uglow explains, for example, how the Tudors made their curious knots; how housewives used herbs to stop freckles; how the suburbs dug for… Read More

Description:
London: Hamish Hamilton, 1992. 1st Edition 3rd Printing. Hardcover. Good. First edition, third printing. Hardback, bound in black cloth with printed white titling and design to spine. 24 × 15.5cm, 630pp. Signed directly to the title page by Barry Unsworth. Sacred Hunger is a stunning and engrossing exploration of power, domination, and greed. Filled with the "sacred hunger" to expand its empire and its profits, England entered full into the slave trade and spread the trade throughout its colonies. In this Booker Prize-winning work, Barry Unsworth follows the failing fortunes of William Kemp, a merchant pinning his last chance to a slave ship; his son who needs a fortune because he is in love with an upper-class woman; and his nephew who sails on the ship as its doctor because he has lost all he has loved. The voyage meets its demise when disease spreads among the slaves and the captain's drastic response provokes a mutiny. Joining together, the sailors and the slaves set up a… Read More
