Mrs Earle's Surrey Garden

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In 1897 Mrs C.W. Earle published the first of her immensely popular trilogy Pot-pourri from a Surrey Garden. Aristocrat by birth, poor man's wife by vocation, she gave her readers an inimitable hotch-potch of advice on every aspect of the good life. Anne Jones presents a portrait of the lady, with readings from her books and memoirs by Celia Johnson.
