Omschrijving
A moving yet illuminating story of how a well-known horticulturist was killed in Gallipoli just after being married; it combines a tale of botany, of being a soldier in World War I, and a tragic love story - written Alice Lane's grandson by her second marriage, who discovered letters after her death.

A former publisher, he has written and edited a number of books in the field of South African history and holds honorary fellowships at several South African universities. He lives in Devon, England. Anne Jones works in communications, media and public relations.
