Reviews

'Exquisite.'
*Guardian*

‘Another treat...with beautiful photographs...This is a book to be savored; sketching out a history of Oxford, its text is as lively and informative as its photographs are absorbing.'
*New York Times*

‘Richardson’s well-informed narrative and Andrew Lawson’s superb pictures conjure the gardens at their peak’
*FT Weekend*

‘These Pembroke men make a dream team, since Lawson has a true and careful eye while Richardson is a most thoughtful and intelligent writer’
*Spectator*

'Hidden behind high walls and through gated arches, the gardens at Oxford's colleges have always been the preserve of a select few. Now it's possible to take a look at the beautiful and prestigious grounds in this fabulous book, with pictures by Andrew Lawson. If you want to peek into the cottagey gardens at Pembroke or the open lawns of Trinity, or even trick people into thinking you studied at Oxford, then this is the book for you.'
