Titchmarsh, Alan

Jovial BBC gardening program presenter and novelist Titchmarsh (Bring Me Home) delivers a thoroughly engaging fairy tale for adults about second acts and new beginnings. At a time when events on both sides of the pond can lead to vigorous head shaking followed by a profound lie-down, this welcome bit of escapism is perfect for whiling away an afternoon in the garden, followed by a bracing gin and tonic.
