Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Grabham, Michael Comport. Garden interests of Madeira. London: William Clowes & Sons, Limited, 1926.

Binding strong. Some light foxing to endpapers and prelims. xi, 100pp. Occasional light foxing, otherwise contents clean and bright. Grabham (1840-1935) was a doctor who settled in Madeira for over seventy years. In his early days there, sufferers from tuberculosis formed the majority of his patients but, with the increase in the island's popularity, for which his own booklet on its climate and resources, published in 1865, was partly responsible, his clientele came to include all categories of invalids and convalescents from Europe. In the course of time, he became an undisputed authority on Madeira's climate, botany, animal and marine life, and geography. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
