Ian Hamilton Finlay 
Stonypath Days [EPUB ebook] 
Letters between Ian Hamilton Finlay and Stephen Bann 1970-72

These letters to (and from) Finlay’s friend, the English poet and scholar, Stephen Bann, centre on the initial development of the garden at Stonypath, near Edinburgh, later to become the world renowned ‘Little Sparta’. They cover Finlay’s turn away from poetry towards sculpture and garden design, and the thinking behind, and consequences of, this development.
