Beverley Nichols

    9 september 1898 – 15 september 1983

    John Beverley Nichols was een productieve Engelse auteur die een breed scala aan onderwerpen verkende. Hij staat bekend om zijn boeiende tuinierboeken, vaak geïllustreerd door medewerkers, en om autobiografische werken die moedig diep ingingen op complexe familiedynamiek. Zijn schrijfstijl kenmerkt zich door scherpe observatie en een unieke mix van humor en introspectie, waarmee hij een onderscheidend stempel heeft gedrukt op de Engelse literatuur.

      All About Cats
    • Down the Kitchen Sink has much in common with its famous predecessor, Down the Garden Path, in which Beverley Nichols described his early forays into the realm of gardening. When he began to write the first, he could not prune a rose. When he began to write the second, he could not boil an egg. Perhaps this is why both books remain fresh and eminently readable. The phrase 'kitchen sink' may suggest squalor and disillusionment, but Beverley Nichols transforms it into a symbol of merriment and adventure. With a new foreword by Roy Dicks and Val Biro's charming drawings, the Timber Press edition of Down the Kitchen Sink deservedly takes its place among Beverley's classics on gardens, homes, cats, and other friends.
