Digging with the Duchess shifted the balance of gardening books away from muck and magic towards a darkish hilarity, earning international plaudits in the process. Digging Deeper with the Duchess is a new volume of essays, in which the saga continues, packed with horticulture, travel and risk. Read it if you dare.
'It's hard to be funny about gardening, but Sam Llewellyn manages it in Digging Deeper with the Duchess.'
The Oldie ~
'Funny, scabrous, phantasmagoric - not to mention surprisingly useful plants-wise. The perfect gift for a green-fingered loved one.'
The Tatler ~
'Unashamedly light-hearted and witty....Sam Llewellyn has a duchess staying with him in his house, The Hope, in Herefordshire. To keep her off the gin and fags he takes her either into his large garden or into other people’s, here and abroad, where she makes pungent comments and gets into scrapes. Along the way, information is imparted, some of it horticultural... I can recommend this book for your bedside table.'
Ursula Buchan in the Spectator
