Review
While the ostensible topics are houses and people, it is Nichols' love of gardening, and the villagers who either encourage him or thwart him in its pursuit, that remains the lively theme through all the books. Seattle Times, September 2005 (Seattle Times )
Product Description
This reprint of the third book in Nichols's Allways trilogy contains a new foreword by Bryan Connon, Beverley Nichols's biographer. Set in the English countryside, the hilarious memoir is as much about the author's love for plants as it is about the village in which he lived. The depictions of flowers and ornamentals "A single one of those gloxinias would be an event in Allways ... I should give a party for it" are both inspiring and unforgettable. This is the voice of one whose chief endowment is an appreciation for plants and the landscape, including a keen understanding of the importance gardens play in an increasingly modern world.

Beverley Nichols is a new find for me, and I am so happy that I found him. He is a wonderful, funny writer. I have so far read 2 of his books, and I have loved them both. I just started a third!

VILLAGE IN A VALLEY, Mar 12 2007
By Gwendolyn Vandyke - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Village in the Valley (Hardcover)
I was a bit disappointed in this book - Beverley seems to have not been as interested in his subject as he was in the other 2 books of this trilogy, and he became quite morbid in the last section. Perhaps he was in a hurry to get the book finished, or wasn't well at the time.

I like to read his opinions about plants and what he did with his yard.
