This vintage book contains a child-friendly introduction to the various writers in English literature whose works appeals most to young readers. It provides a brief sketch of the life and personality of each author, as well as quotations and references to their work. Also included are suggestions for further reading. This volume aims to bridge the gap between writer, work, and history to produce a marvellous companion to a chronological study of English literature, designed for those aged 12 and upwards. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
