"Merry Hall" is a delightful narrative that chronicles the author's experiences as he restores a Georgian house and its gardens, which he recently acquired. Set in the post-war English countryside, the book combines gardening wisdom with humorous anecdotes involving eccentric neighbors and challenging domestic issues. The author's passion for gardening and his witty, often poetic reflections on nature and the seasons, bring to life his adventures in creating a beautiful sanctuary out of a once neglected estate. The work is both a practical guide to horticulture and an engaging memoir filled with charm and wit.
