Johanna Basford spent her summer and winter holidays at Brodick Castle on the Isle of Arran, where her grandfather was the head gardener. Her magical book Secret Garden contains pen-and-ink illustrations of flowers, insects, birds and small animals. All it needs to come to life is a bit of spare time and some coloured pens or pencils.
