Books by Jackie Bennett

Gardens have provided the location, the subjects the pastime and the passion for our greatest artists, from Matisse and Monet to Dali and Da Vinci. This book looks at 20 gardens and more than 30 associated artists and examines the art, the garden-making, and the gardens they immortalised which you can visit today.

For the first time, Shakespeare's Gardens brings together brand new photography of the gardens with beautiful archive images of flowers, old herbals, and 16th century illustrations.

"I am a flat chested teenybopper and nobody likes me. At least not today. Maybe if I'm lucky someone will like me tomorrow." That's how I started my project on family and community that Mrs. McKinney gave us for our first grade eight assignment. Pathetic, eh? It's not really true, I guess. Just feels like it most days.…And so begins Jenny Grant's account of the trials and tribulations of her final year of elementary school. Along the way Jenny finds her world rocked by a family crisis, breaks the leg of one of the most popular girls in school, and discovers (can it be?) true love. By turns hilarious and heartwrenching, When Am I Supposed to Sleep? is guaranteed to prevent readers from getting to sleep themselves as they wait to find out how Jenny's grade 8 year will turn out.

* An updated and revised edition of the best-selling THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT A CONVENT GIRL, including a new contribution from Marian Keyes.
