Brother William is a kind-hearted 14th-Century monk gardener at Westminster Abbey responsible for providing food for the other monks.

This diary of his year shows what happens month by month in delightful words and pictures.

There are decorative endpapers of the Abbey and gardens, an introduction to the Abbey of Westminster and a note on the life of Benedictine monks - all meticulously researched, written and illustrated with warmth and humour by Westminster Abbey's very own Head Gardener.
