Still hoping for his fifteen minutes of fame, Peterson takes matters into his own hands and tries to rally the other participants with a grandiose project. It will not go to plan. The Making Of is a graphic novel like no other.

Enticing one on with snatched glimpses of new vistas, these walks lead to the heart of the garden, the great Beech Circle. The whole is remarkable for being virtually unchanged since it was created over three hundred years ago.
