About this product

Product Information

Whether he is nurturing a single rare seedling into a blossoming tree or planning acres of exquisitely conceived royal gardens, John Tradescant's fame and skill as a gardener are unsurpassed in seventeenth-century England. But it is Tradescant's clear-sighted honesty and loyalty that make him an invaluable servant, and in his role as informal confidant during garden strolls with Sir Robert Cecil, adviser to King James I, he witnesses the making of history, from the Gunpowder Plot to the accession of King Charles I and the growing animosity between Parliament and court.Tradescant's talents soon come to the attention of the most powerful man in the country, the irresistible Duke of Buckingham, the lover of King Charles I. Tradescant has always been faithful to his masters, but Buckingham is unlike any he has ever known: flamboyant, outrageously charming, and utterly reckless. Every certainty upon which Tradescant has based his life -- his love of his wife and children, his passion for his work, his loyalty to his country -- is shattered as he follows Buckingham to court, to war, and to the forbidden territories of human love.From the details of garden design and innovation to the politics of a growing revolution which was to kill a king and turn a world upside down, Philippa Gregory once again makes history come alive through the people whose passions shaped that world.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Earthly Joys by Philippa Gregory - A TRUE JOY!

    I have only recently become a fan of Ms. Gregory's work, with a purchase of "The Other Boleyn Girl" while vacationing in Bermuda. Something about the cover and the title grabbed me. Well, with that book I have become hooked. Ms. Gregory has an amazing ability for attention to every little detail from clothing, to smells, to moods, etc. I actually felt like I was sitting in the room that she was describing. That I was a member of the court, watching it all happen. Since that first book I have read a few more, including Earthly Joys and they all have that same ability to make you feel completely intertwined in the story - and not be able to put it down. One of my favorite ebay searches is new books by this author, so I never have a delay in between books - I have a fresh one ready. I ...

  • Earthly Joys

    I found it to be a wonderful story. I enjoyed the other sequences as well and if the story continued would buy that book also. I am a fan of Philippa Gregory and read any of her books that I can get my hands on. Enjoy !!!!!!!!

  • OK

    Not exactly what I expected compared to her other novels.
