Almost hidden within religious buildings, hospitals, school chapels and civic buildings, stained-glass windows tell of Australians at war. Bronwyn Hughes focuses on commemorative stained glass—an overlooked art form—describing its rich artistic and architectural heritage and the artists and firms who created it. Memorial stained glass serves to depict and illuminate the men and women who fought and died for their faith and their country. It has a tragic beauty.

Tommy Garnett (1915-2006), reforming headmaster of two famous schools, creator of the renowned Garden of St Erth, came late to his gardening and writing career. He penned his first newspaper article on his sixty-fifth birthday. Michael Davie, editor of The Age and The Observer, soon placed Garnett in the top rank of essayists, in the best traditions of English nature writers. Professor George Seddon saw him as one of Australia's most stimulating and provocative writers - honest, witty, profoundly knowledgeable, a truly enquiring mind. What was the life that shaped the garden and the writing? This closely researched and beautifully crafted biography explores the worlds that create the remarkable man who created The Garden of St Erth.
