Ann Preston Bridgers was the pride of Raleigh, North Carolina, where she founded the Little Theatre, a New Deal Federal Theatre project. Her talent for friendship and for identifying the talent of others led to her correspondence with Elizabeth Lawrence, who would become one of America's best garden writers. By 1942, she was so successful that her book, A Southern Garden, was published. Through the letters by Elizabeth to Ann featured here, readers can glimpse what life in a Southern town was like for women, especially during the 1930s and 1940s. Elizabeth discusses family, friends, books, plays, travels, ideas, and, of course, writing. In 2004, on what would have been her 100th birthday, Elizabeth (who died in 1984) was featured as one of the 25 greatest gardeners in the world by Horticulture magazine. That acclaim would never have come her way without her friendship with Ann Preston Bridgers.

In 1927, Anne Preston Bridgers was the pride of her hometown in Raleigh, NC. The play, Coquette, which she co-wrote with George Abbott, was the toast of Broadway with Helen Hayes as its star. It was during this time that Elizabeth Lawrence and her family lived across the street from Anne's mother on Hillsborough Street. Elizabeth was a recent graduate of Barnard College who would go on to become the first female graduate in the landscape design program at North Carolina State University. Elizabeth and Anne struck up a friendship. Through the correspondence between these two accomplished women, one glimpses what life in a Southern town was like for upper class women during the 1930s and 40s. The women discuss books, plays, travels, ideas, and of course, the garden.

No One Gardens Alone tells for the first time the story of Elizabeth Lawrence (1904-1985). Like classic biographies of Emily Dickinson and Edna St. Vincent Millay, this fascinating book reveals Lawrence in all her complexity and establishes her, at last, as one of the premier gardeners and gardening writers of the twentieth century. "In this first biography of the renowned gardening writer Elizabeth Lawrence, Emily Herring Wilson reminds us that even quiet lives hold unsuspected passions. Written with graceful clarity, sensitivity, and empathy, this life is a perennial."--Linda H. Davis, author of Onward and Upward: A Biography of Katharine S. White Elizabeth Lawrence (1904-1985) lived a singular, often contradictory life. She was a traditional southerner; a successful, independent garden writer with her own newspaper column and numerous books to her credit; a dutiful daughter who cared for her elders and lived with her mother; a landscape architect; a passionate poet; a friend of literary figures like Eudora Welty and Joseph Mitchell; and a very private woman whose recently discovered letters illuminate aspects of her mystery. Lawrence earned many fans during her lifetime and gained even more after her death with the reissue of many of her classic books. When Emily Herring Wilson edited a collection of letters between Lawrence and famed New Yorker editor Katharine S. White in Two Gardeners, she found legions of readers who were eager to know more about the legendary Lawrence. Now, one hundred years after her birth, No One Gardens Alone tells for the first time the story of this fascinating woman. Like classic biographies of literary figures such as Emily Dickinson and Edna St. Vincent Millay, this book reveals Lawrence in all her complexity and establishes her, at last, as one of the premier gardeners and garden writers of the twentieth century.

Gardening has always attracted devotedly literate practitioners; people who like to dig, it would appear, also like to write. And many of them write exceedingly well. Focusing on gardeners' words about the art of gardening, and ranging in time and place from Enlightenment France to modern-day New York, Writing the Garden brings together a diverse array of authors including Vita Sackville-West, Gertrude Jekyll and Sir Roy Strong. For the most part they are not professional landscape designers or how-to horticulturalists, but rather hands-on gardeners who write with their own gardens in full view.

February, 1603... In Richmond Palace, London, the last Queen of the Tudor dynasty, Elizabeth I, is dying. As Death hovers at her elbow, waiting for her to obey his call, the aged Queen looks back on her life, and on the trials, victories and sorrows which brought her eventually, to the throne of England. Not quite three years old when her mother, the notorious Queen Anne Boleyn, was arrested and executed on charges of adultery and treason, Elizabeth became a true princess of the Tudor era, in a time when the balance of power, politics and passion were fragile... and the cost of failure was death. Her childhood and teenaged years were fraught with danger as competing factions and ideologies sought to undermine and destroy her in the bid for power at the Tudor court. This is the story of Elizabeth Tudor, last daughter of Henry VIII, and her journey to the throne of England. Told from her own mouth... the tale of the Bastard Princess, who would, one day, become England's greatest Queen. Book One, of the Elizabeth of England Chronicle by G. Lawrence: The Bastard Princess.

Dickens called her "that little darling", Thackerey thought her "easy to fall in love with". President James Buchanan was "an immense friend", and Henry Adams modeled the heroine of a best-selling novel after her. She danced with Prince Albert and traveled Italy with General George McClellan. A nineteenth century female Zelig, she managed to be in all the right places with all the right people. As the wife and widow of diplomat T. Bigelow Lawrence -- of the Boston Lawrences -- she charmed artists, the literati, and social leaders of her day in London, Florence, and Washington. Moreover, she wrote all the details in missives "to Mama" back in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, a trove of letters signed E.L. that were recently discovered in an antique bread box and became the basis of this spirited biography.
