Gardens of the Imagination -- Retreat into Gardens of the Imagination, a magnificent anthology of fiction and poetry from some of the world's best-loved writers. Gardens have long fed the literary imagination, and their landscapes are abundant with meaning. Beautifully illustrated in lush hues by artist Peter Malone, this collection takes readers on an inspired journey through the garden haunts of Vladimir Nabokov, Zora Neale Hurston, Pablo Neruda, Italo Calvino, Lewis Carroll, Octavio Paz, and many others. At turns astonishing, moving, and magical, this eclectic collection of prose and poetry spans ancient Babylon to the present, Wonderland to Xanadu. It is a book sure to delight gardeners and readers alike.
