ReviewsThe charm of Merry Hall, Laughter on the Stairs (mostly about the house) and Sunlight on the Lawn is undeniable, a mixture of the lyrical, the teasing, the understatedly witty and the self-mockingly camp., This [Merry Hall] trilogy is consistently delightful, gentle, witty, and charming. Reading these books is like having your back scratched by your best friend . . . it's all so pleasant, you wish it will never end., The Nichols books are gardening classics; after reading one volume, you will want to read the others, so it would be best to buy all three at the outset., "In his entertaining and inimitable manner, Beverly Nichols wraps up his trilogy on the renovation of Merry Hall and its garden." -Peter Kendall, American Rhododendron Society Journal , Fall 2004, I can think of no better book to start the new century than one that reflects the best of the old in such gracious, entertaining style.

SynopsisNo more delightful garden-related books have ever been written than Nichols' accounts of the rescue and renovation of Merry Hall, a run-down Georgian mansion and its garden., Sunlight on the Lawn brings to a close Beverley Nichols's delightful Merry Hall trilogy describing the renovation of his run-down Georgian mansion and its garden., American photographer Steven Underhill presents a selection of photographs of typical Californian boys from next door. They are pictured alone, in couples and threesomes - boys in love with living, carefree and self-confident. They are proud of their bodies and discover their sexuality. The cheeky layout intensifies the youthful appearance of this book, but its appeal should go beyond the young.
