Description

Garden Stories is a beautifully crafted anthology of short stories that celebrate gardens and gardeners from around the world. This collection brings together tales of secret gardens, enchanted gardens, public and private spaces, grand and humble ones, all showcasing the power of the earth to inspire and transform. From the perspective of a snail in Virginia Woolf's "Kew Gardens" to a sheltered teenage girl in Katherine Mansfield's "The Garden-Party", spectacular gardens are portrayed as havens for contemplation and discovery. Other stories feature family members tending to their plots, children finding wonder in hidden paradises, and adult gardeners uncovering secrets that haunt them. This anthology is an abundant crop of entrancing stories, making it a great gift for gardeners of all kinds.
