Not one of Gregory's best, this novel traces the story of John Tradescant the younger, gardener to King Charles I, son of the subject of the first novel in this duo. As with the first, this tome is heavy to read, and slogs through time about as slowly as it must have happened. I finished it to say that I had, but honestly wonder why. Not my cup of tea.
