Walling, Edna: "Cottage and Garden in Australia", Oxford University Press, Melbourne, 1943.

This is Edna Walling's second book and is DEDICATED TO HER FATHER, William Walling.

Here she describes the building of a country cottage and its integration into the garden. The book provides the building plans, specifications and detailed drawings of Sonning II, her home in Bickleigh Vale, as well as an evocative selection of her photographs of Bickleigh Vale village. In the Foreword she writes: "Here then is a book of cottages ... It has been written for those haunted by the dream of a cottage in the country." She goes on to say: "That the cottage will rest upon the landscape in sweet and quiet accord instead of being a dull bruise that never departs must be the unconscious wish of all." This book is an invaluable record of Walling's Devonshire style village and its cottages.
