Revue de presse

Perhaps it's because the individual building blocks of a pebble mosaic are so small and manageable, or perhaps it's because Maggy Howarth makes the process seem exclusive and yet achievable, I defy anyone to read this book and not come away with the itch to have a go for themselves. --Professional Gardener
