Description
Alan Bennett's memoir about his long and unusual relationship with Miss Shepherd, who lived in his garden for 15 years. In 1974, she moved her broken-down van into his garden, and despite initial reluctance, he became her reluctant landlord. This account of their time together was first published in the London Review of Books in 1989. The story is a fascinating glimpse into the life of this deeply eccentric woman, who lived on the fringes of society. Bennett's writing offers a unique insight into his experiences with Miss Shepherd, and the ways in which she challenged his perceptions of himself and the world around him. This new edition ties in with the major film adaptation, starring Maggie Smith as Miss Shepherd.
