Description

Susan Lasdun (au). As scenery & places of recreation, parks are a vital part of our well-being. Their existence is almost taken for granted, yet they are often threatened as they suffer from pressures applied by conflicting interests. This book follows their long history & makes a case for the continued care of this tradition both in the preservation of existing parks & the creation of new ones in our cities. Parks have been an inseparable part of British lifestyle for nearly a thousand years. The author draws on literary sources, in prose & verse, & includes remarkable historical documentation as well as largely unpublished illustrations.
