A new printing of M.R. Pimsai’s pioneering work, designed “…to assist Bangkok gardeners in a practical way.” William Warren has brought this classic up-to-date, while retaining M.R. Pimsai’s unique voice, described by John Blofeld as “…vivid, natural, and compelling—a style based on the principle that people should write very much as they talk” (from the Preface). Ping Amranand’s photographs have been re-edited and integrated with the text in this printing. Includes a new, comprehensive index. Soft cover, 240 pp., 136 photos.
