About this product

Product Information

Sequel to the outstanding historical novel Earthly Joys, and written by the bestselling Philippa Gregory, the author of The Other Boleyn Girl and The Virgin's Lover. John Tradescant the Younger has inherited his father's unique collection of plants along with his unerring ability to nurture them. But as gardener to Charles I, he confronts an unbearable dilemma when England descends into Civil War. Fleeing from the chaos, John travels to the Royalist colony of Virginia in America. But the virgin land is not uninhabited. John's plant hunting brings him to live with the native people, and he learns to love and respect their way of life just as it is threatened by the colonial settlers. In the new world and the old, the established order is breaking down and every family has to find its own way of surviving. For the Tradescants, through the upheavals of the Commonwealth and the Restoration, this means consolidating their reputations as the greatest gardeners in the country.

    So interesting you dont want it end.

    A follow on from` Earthly Joys` by the same author. Written some years ago, it tells the story of King James 1st & King Charles 1st gardener through historical events. If you enjoy history and/or gardens this will be a book you don't want to put down but also don't want it to end.

  • Top critical review

    Excellent book but disappointed at the state it was in. I expect the front cover to be intact when buying a second hand book.

    This book arrived damaged with a long cut down the front cover, running from the top to nearly the bottom. This was not a tear that could have been caused in transit.

  • Kings Gardeners

    Fantastic book couldn’t put it down but you need to read the first book called, earthly joys, which is the beginning of the story surrounding the tradescant family and their journey as kings gardeners through the reign of queen Elizabeth 1st. king James 1st. Charles 1st . and Cromwell’s reign as lord protector . Have read these 2 books many times over

  • Enchanting Reading

    I loved reading Virgin Earth. It held my interest from beginning to end. Reading about the Tradescants has piqued my curiosity making me want to research them further. Philippa Gregory is an excellent writer.
