Of Cabbages and Kings: the History of Allotments Bewertungen

'The gallop through the history of useful rather than ornamental crops makes a refreshing change from stately gardening. The Spectator 'An excellent account detailing the changing practice and importance of the patch you hope to take on - read it while you work your way up that long waiting list.' -- Annalee Mather The Independent 'One for the history shelf.' -- Iain Finlayson The Times 'Foley's book reminds us that the right to share the earth has always been an asymmetric struggle.' The Guardian 'A history of England from an unusual but illuminating angle' Country Life 'I suggest you read this book. You will never again underestimate how precious and precarious a stake in the land is.' Gardens Illustrated
