Nightfall on a balmy summers evening doesn't mean an end to sitting outside. Candles, lanterns, votives, minilights can all extend your outdoor enjoyment. But doing it decoratively makes it even more pleasant. This attractively illustrated book offers a wealth of ideas for enhancing your garden lighting: floating candles on a pond, strawberry pot light feature, fire and ice lanterns. Adorn your dining table with champagne gel candles and your patio walls with the innovatively created cake pan wall sconces. Line your paths with rubber-stamped luminarias and adorn your flower borders with the stunning balls of fire. All projects, both hard and easy, are clearly explained in step-by-step instructions, the colour photographs displaying the finished result in a suitably attractive garden setting. Full of inspirational, quirky ideas, this is a must for all gardeners to let them enjoy their garden for longer each day and for lovers of outdoor living, the presence of dappled lighting creating an air of mystique not found indoors. - Lucy Watson

Rankin Redux
This is exactly the same book as "Creative Lighting for Outdoor Living"; only the title has been changed. There is something vaguely suspicious about re-titling the same text and illustrations to lure the unwary into a second purchase. That said, my earlier review stands but my opinion of Lark Books has taken a fall.
