This work explores the world of grass from every possible perspective. It explains its role of Britain and America (and indeed of Humanity itself), elaborates in minute detail the botany of a grass field or lawn, talks to the groundsmen of Wimbledon and West Ham, explores the ornate history of the lawn-mower and the minutiae of cattle-breeding, and surveys the development of the municipal park.
