Lucky me! I'm the happy owner of a full set of Constance Spry's books on flower decorating. One of the founders of our Garden Club gave them to me when she was moving to the retirement home where she eventually died, after many years of hands-on gardening and teaching. On reading her books and those of Beverley Nichols where he mentions her, I had this idea of Constance Spry as a little bundle of sweetness and a grandmotherly figure immersed in her world of beauty. She was indeed all that. And then much more. Not surprising as we tend to catalogue human beings into very narrow stereotypes. This is a very good biography with some very good old pictures. The kind of book one hesitates to lend in case it never comes back. So get your own copy.
thanks for share it's o beautiful
