Susan Campbell knew Euan Uglow for 50 years. She was a fellow student with him at the Slade from 1950 to 1953, and on leaving became an illustrator. She married Robin Campbell in 1959 and started writing cookery books in 1970. She has been writing and illustrating books on the history of walled gardens since 1980. This collection of memories of Euan was something she felt compelled to make, after he died.
“Euan was an extraordinary man. His talent was recognised from an early age and it went from strength to strength. People who knew him understood at once why I wanted to write this book; they cherished him for his dogged and passionate pursuit of his art; for his loyalty, funniness, wisdom and honesty; for his strength, both mental and physical, and for his love of good company, which in his case meant wine, food, friends, women and argument.” – Susan Campbell
