Description

Sissinghurst An Unfinished History by Adam Nicolson is a fascinating account of the history of this world-famous estate in Kent. For the first time, the story of Sissinghurst is told from its very beginning, uncovering remarkable new findings about its medieval past and its transformation into a garden. The book follows Adam Nicolson's journey as he sets out to revive the estate, which had fallen into decline over the years. With his own memories of childhood summers on the farm, Nicolson aims to restore Sissinghurst to its former glory, bringing back orchards, cattle, fruit and sheep to the landscape. This updated paperback edition brings the story up to date with the first year of Nicolson's endeavour. By exploring the history of this beloved estate, Nicolson shares a compelling story of taking an inheritance and steering it in a new direction, one that is both personal and entrepreneurial in spirit.
