Virginia Woolf's Garden : Jacqui Small : 9781909342132 : 1909342130 : 17 Oct 2013 : This chronological account takes you through the key events in the lives of Virginia and Leonard Woolf through a history of their home, Monk's House in Sussex, where Virginia wrote most of her major novels.  The story of this magical garden includes selected quotations from the writings of the Woolfs which reveal how important a role the garden played in their lives, as a source of both pleasure and inspiration.
