 'SKULLDUGGERY IN THE SHRUBBERY'

The fascinating 17th century story of a remarkable man:  John Tradescant was a Gardener to the Royal Family, an adventurer, a collector of curiosities and the founder of Britain's first museum.  But history has forgotten him in favour of the scheming lawyer who cheated him of his collection, his reputation and ultimately, his fame.
