At the start of the book, the author expresses his passion for pears, comparing a well-tended pear tree to a faithful friend that rewards care with bountiful fruit. Bartrum discusses the origins and historical significance of pears, referencing ancient texts and horticulture practices in Europe, particularly the contributions of the Romans. He underscores the importance of soil, aspect, and climate in the successful cultivation of pears, establishing a foundation for more specific gardening advice that follows in the subsequent chapters.
