HRH The Prince of Wales, Stephanie Donaldson

Kales Press, 2007

HRH Gets It Right In The Garden
A quarter of a century ago, when Prince Charles first spoke publicly about his belief in organic gardening and farming principles, he was dismissed as a tree-hugging eccentric that walked around talking to his plants. Twenty-five years on, he's considered an ecological visionary. His personal life may be somewhat controversial, but the garden is one place he gets it right (if only he could relate ...

Sophia Volume 14, No. 1

Jacqueline Du Pre: Impressions (2nd Revised Edition)

Grafton, 1989

A Comprehensive, Personal Tributes
I'm selling a copy of this book and it seemed a shame that there were no reviews. I'm putting my oar in. As one might expect, this is indeed a series of impressions, containing contributions from Du Pre family members, musicians, ("Sharing a Language" by Menuhin, "Senuous Sound" by Zukerman) former teachers, and other witnesses to her work and life. It is extensively illustrated. It also ...

HRH Prince of Wales, Charles Clover

Seven Dials, 2001

Highgrove ...The Magic of Britain
I first knew of Highgrove when I read that Charles had purchased it with an eye to his tremendous interest in organic farming. "Another beautiful country home for the Royals," I mused. But, after reading this book, I began to realize that Highgrove was more than a mere physical place but instead seems to be almost magical in it's beauty. The photos are breathtaking for anyone who loves natural ...
