Shane Connolly is one of a new generation of florists who is experimental with colour yet also a believer in arranging flowers in a natural and unfussy way. Heralded for his originality, Shane's work has been featured in numerous magazines, including Country Living, The World of Interiors, Vogue and Harpers & Queen.
Connolly, a leading British florist, demonstrates his unstructured approach in 50 different flower arrangements for both everyday, casual entertaining and special celebrations. Each illustration is accompanied by a couple of descriptive paragraphs, which cover topics like flower varieties and the significance of light, longevity, and setting on the selected flowers. Connolly offers only one page of "practical points" and acknowledges that he has been "purposefully vague about mechanics," which he considers a reflection of container preference. The author's floral combinations are indeed natural yet elegant, and the exquisite color photographs by Baldwin do them justice. Fiona Barrett's The New Flower Arranger (LJ 12/95) is a more comprehensive work on flower arranging, but Connolly's book has been selected by four book clubs, making it a possible purchase for public libraries.?Cathy Sabol, Northern Virginia Community Coll., Herndon
