Books on Sunday: Buckingham Palace: A Royal Garden
Buckingham Palace is without no doubt one of the most iconic buildings of London
and the symbol of the British monarchy.
This book is not about the palace itself or the events that happened there but it's, what
me interested the most: its gardens.
Normally it's hidden from sight as it is The Queen's private Londen garden. However
the garden also fulfils many roles. Every summer it welcomes thousands of guests for
the famous Garden Parties.
Buckinham Palace - A Royal Garden is a wonderful book from the Royal Collection
Trust and written by Claire Masset.
