‘The things which happened in that garden! If you have never had a garden, you cannot understand and if you have had a garden, you will know that it would take a whole book to describe all that came to pass there.’ Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden. #BookWormSat

This work was painted at Gerald Gardiner’s home in Gloucestershire in the mid 1930s and is a good example of his depiction of a night-time scene, showing the light, the reflections and shadows cast by the oil lamp and fire as his wife, Evelyn contentedly reads a book.
