“Like a rich tapestry, Sophie has woven a web through the fascinating and ever-changing landscape of Kew Gardens. Photographs, guidebooks, maps, posters and prints reveal a place that has drawn the good and the great, the many and the multitudes together in celebration of the natural world. With her keen eye for social history, she shows how changes in Kew mirror broader events in fascinating ways. This book is a gem for anyone (myself included) who loves Kew and feels a little of their lives imprinted on it.”
