Large-scale volumes to admire.

Paul Bangay’s legendary Victorian property Stonefields is a joy to behold at any time of the year. Here he leads the reader on an extensive seasonal tour of the gardens, from the mellowness of autumn colour, through the winter frosting with snow, to the swelling buds and fresh green of spring, and finally to the profusion of summer flowers and voluptuous shade-bearing trees.
