Up The Garden Path Thelwell’s Guide to Gardening: Book by Norman Thelwell
£4.99
Up the Garden Path: Thelwell’s Guide to Gardening is a humorous illustrated gardening book made up of Norman Thelwell’s cartoons, satirising the everyday struggles of amateur gardeners.
It presents gardening tasks and mishaps—such as mowing problems, weeds, weather, and general chaos—in a light comic style, with exaggerated characters and visual jokes. The book is more about humour and observation than instruction, making fun of the frustrations and small disasters of maintaining a garden.
