Monk s House in Sussex is the former home of Leonard and Virginia Woolf. From the overgrown land behind the house they created a brilliant patchwork of garden rooms, linked by brick paths, secluded behind flint walls and yew hedges. It was bought by them in 1919 as a country retreat, somewhere they came to read, write and work in the garden.
Virginia wrote most of her major novels at Monk s House, at first in a converted tool shed, and later in her purpose-built wooden writing lodge tucked into a corner of the orchard.Caroline Zoob lived with her husband, Jonathan, at Monk s House for over a decade as tenants of the National Trust, The story of this magical garden is the subject of this book and the author has 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.
