"Leonard and I have bought a field and are making ambitious projects of all kinds to put terraces, kiosks, ponds, water lilies, fountains, carp, goldfish, statues of naked ladies and figureheads of warships that reflected in shady lakes. " Virginia Woolf

The beautiful garden of Monk's House, the house in Sussex at the foot of the Downs, was a great source of inspiration for Virginia Woolf , who wrote most of his novels here in the studio at the end of the property. Leonard and Virginia made notable changes to the garden, but since 1969, the year of Leonard's death, his layout has remained unchanged. So far, very little of his history had been written and no one had seen him in a photograph. This volume presents a unique collection of Virginia's comments and tells how the garden has been preserved over the years.
