Strolls through the changing role of the lawn in English values, the evolution of the English lawn mower, and lawn-cutting as a nostalgic activity for English men of a particular class and era, some of whom are profiled near the end. For me, though, the book seemed a little insular and unengaging (despite being an avid gardener). ( )
