A book written by Susan Jellis and illustrated by Nick Andrew, published in 2020 by The Association of Bloomsbury Squares and Gardens*.
Bloomsbury is a leafy, atmospheric neighbourhood of garden squares, differing in size, shape and individual character but all bringing a rural ambience into the urban surroundings. This book showcases these diverse squares, traces their history and gives a sense of their life today. There are 13 double page illustrations featuring Nick’s ‘Sticks in the Smoke’ drawings which bring the modern activities of the squares to life, as well as his studies of statues and other aspects of the gardens.
