Jackson read from Vita Sackville-Wests beautifully descriptive book ‘Some Flowers’, which, though written in the 1930’s and illustrated in black and white, contained such poignant descriptions of the colours that they came alive to the listener. Vita was writing for gardening columns in newspapers and magazines, her descriptions of the flowers are stunning in their exact and beautiful delicacy. The tales and adventures of her travels fascinating. Her writing humours and breathtaking. For more information or to book a performance slot email Pauline paulinekiwidenton@gmail.com
