Susan Southam’s Velvet Pears invites readers into a lush, contemplative world where nature writing meets memoir, tracing the author’s journey through gardens, seasons and memory. This illustrated hardcover celebrates botany, landscaping and the quiet rituals of horticulture, making it a perfect gift for gardeners and lovers of contemporary nature narratives.

The dust-jacketed edition is packed with colour plates that bring Southam’s prose to life, ideal for young adults and adults who enjoy modern biographies grounded in earth and place. Despite gentle wear to the jacket and a handful of marked pages, the book remains square, tight and free of inscriptions, offering a very readable copy for cosy armchair browsing.

Shipped from a smoke-free home, this used copy balances character and affordability, ready to join a home library devoted to gardens, true stories and the quiet wisdom of leaves and soil.
