For Emily Windsor, owner of the family flower farm that has been in her blood for generations, this time of year brings more than just blooms - it's a tale of love, loss, and legacy. In "A Drake at the Door", Emily tells the story of her grandmother's pioneering work in creating the breathtaking Minack Theatre, nestled among the rocky outcrops of Porthcurno.

With each chapter, you'll be drawn into the world of this Cornish flower farm, where beauty is not just in the flowers but also in the people who tend them.
With its warm and engaging narrative, "A Drake at the Door" will transport you to the rugged yet enchanting landscape of Cornwall, where love, loss, and community come together to create something truly special.
