In a notice of The English Flower Garden (by William Robertson, Murray, 15 ed. “one of the great classics of gardening[“]) by Harry Roberts, in the New Statesman for March 11, 1993, Roberts says,
“The art of play, as also, I am inclined to think, the art of life itself, consists mainly in the creation of an environment within which we are of some importance. The consciousness of inferiority which characterizes so many people today, destroying their peace and driving them helter-skelter into the barbed wire entanglements of false philosophies, is due very largely to neglect of this first principle.
