“This is an excellent and badly-needed piece of research.The narrative illuminates the character of Isambard Kingdom Brunel and the nature of his career, catching a genuine sense of excitement over the Watcombe Project.
This book is thus most welcome, bringing together the fruit of Geoff Tudor’s research over many years and presenting it in a form that is colourful and attractive.
It will serve as an excellent Guide to the Brunel Garden, but it is of course more than that, as it is a unique contribution to Brunel studies.
