Its chief attraction is its celebrated garden, designed in the 1930s by the poet Vita Sackville-West, lover of Virginia Woolf. As a boy, Adam Nicolson, Sackville-West's grandson, spent his days romping through Sissinghurst's woods, streams, and fields. In this book, he returns to the place of his bucolic youth and finds that the estate, now operated by Britain's National Trust, has lost something precious. It is still unquestionably a place of calm and beauty but, he asks, where is the working farm, the orchards, the cattle and sheep? Nicolson convinces the Trust to embrace a simple idea: Grow lunch for the two hundred thousand annual visitors. \u003cbr\u003e\"Sissinghurst\" is a personal biography of a place and an inspiring story of one man's quest to return a remarkable landscape to its best, most useful purpose. Nicolson is an entertaining and charming writer and this book will capture fans of Michael Pollan, Alice Waters, and Barbara Kingsolver's \"Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.\" \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Viking Adult","offers":[{"title":"Sissinghurst, an Unfinished History: The Quest to Restore a Working Farm at Vita Sackville-West's Legendary Garden | Adam Nicolson | Hardcover | 9780670021734 | Used: Good | Back Stacks I 1770971","offer_id":49550627504280,"sku":"1770971","price":174.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71daC8RxXDL.jpg?v=1784902219","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/sissinghurst-an-unfinished-history-the-quest-to-restore-a-working-farm-at-vita-sackville-wests-legendary-garden","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
