For a specialist publication the quality of its production is extraordinary: beautiful plans and colour photos abount throughout this book. ... The authors of the various essays are authorities in their field and there is much to learn rom this volume for anyone with a serious interest either in Elizabethan gardens or in what English Heritage has achieved in their recent work at Kenilworth. ... For those interested in Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan court culture this book is a valuable, authoritative and important work. -- John Goodall * Transactions of the Ancient Monuments Society (58) * English Heritage has given us an excellent book that will be of considerable value to anyone engaged with the making of historic gardens and is thus highly recommended, -- Susan Oosthuizen * Landscape History, Volume 35, 2014, Issue 1 *
