8. In The Garden.
9. Come my friend. Rest against my shoulder.
10. It’s okay to grieve……..It’s okay to smile.
FOR SILVA
From all of us
In the garden is a wondrous sight
After we journey in the light
A sweet peace comes when life is done
We never travel there alone
And when we leave this Earthly plain
Those left behind, we’ll see again
Though winter seems so long this year
The first signs of the spring are here
The season of renewal has come
Amidst the warming rays of sun
This resurrection taking place
Reminds us of our Savior’s grace
If we could stay with your awhile
We’d share some tears and then some smiles
We’d lend support that is heartfelt
And so, be gentle with yourself
It is all right. Take time to be
Sad, as you have a right to be.
Dear Silva, know that as your friends
We all would kindly like to send
Our love and comfort as we may
A little wish to light your way
And hope, with dear ones by your side
Love multiplies, sorrows divide.
God bless.

Out of the Garden: Women Writers on the Bible $19 “”Essays of considerable literary erudition and sophistication that… dislodge dull stereotypes to enable both women and men readers to see the Bible with fresh eyes.”>–Los Angeles Times Book Review>As the one work that has held moral and religious sway over the Judeo-Christian tradition for thousands of years, the Bible is unsurpassed in world literature. For women, its meaning is particularly complex; traditionally, the Bible has been used to keep women in their place, but it has also been a book of enduring inspiration. Out of the Garden marks a new stage in women’s relations to the Bible: this is the first collection of essays in which women read and respond to the Bible out of pleasure and curiosity–free to explore what is really relevant to women’s lives.>Drawing on their own experiences and interests, Louise Erdrich, Cynthia Ozick, Fay Weldon, Phyllis Trible, Rebecca Goldstein, June Jordan, Ursula K. Le Guin, and twenty-one other writers boldly, imaginatively–and sometimes reproachfully–address the Old Testament stories, characters, and poetry that mean the most to them. Thoughtful, challenging, and playful, these beautifully written essays explore the Bible in fresh new ways. Out of the Garden reclaims the Bible for women and shows readers that the Bible is a source we can return to again and again.>”A many-splendored achievement…This grand collection is a bold revitalization of our relation to our tradition. It offers the reader the gorgeously varied company of strongly delineated temperaments as they take on the compelling, threatening figures of our imaginative forebears.”>–Harold Bloom> Author of The Book of J and The Western Canon” |

Living On The Edge Of The World: New Jersey Writers Take On The Garden State $5.99 Mobsters. Big hair. The smelly Turnpike. The poor cousin of its glittering neighbor Manhattan. Could that really be all there is to New Jersey? In Living on the Edge of the World, the best and brightest young writers from the much maligned state answer back with edgy, irreverent pieces of nonfiction paying tribute to New Jersey’s unique place in the cultural consciousness. Like a drive along the Garden State Parkway, their stories travel to just about every corner of the state, from Princeton and Hillside to Camden and Hoboken. In "Straight Outta Garwood," Tom Perrotta writes of the near inescapability of returning to his home state again and again in his novels; in "Exit 15W," Joshua Braff tells how all roads led back to the Jersey Girl he’d fallen for as a seventh-grader; Kathleen DeMarco takes a nostalgic look at her grandfather’s cranberry bog in "The Family Farm"; Jonathan Ames recounts a failed attempt to consummate his flirtation with a boardwalk beauty in "Rose of the Jersey Shore"; and Frederick Reiken offers an elegy to a high-rise in Fort Lee that opens his eyes to a new, dangerous world. A celebration of all that’s weird and wonderful about the Garden State — including Bruce Springsteen, the Nets, the Jersey Devil, the films of Kevin Smith, and Great Adventure — Living on the Edge of the World will have New Jerseyans everywhere ready to stand and be counted. |

Page Fright: Foibles And Fetishes Of Famous Writers $15.09 A witty round-up of writers’ habits that includes all the big names, such as Dickens, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Hemingway At public events readers always ask writers how they write. The process fascinates them. Now they have a very witty book that ranges around the world and throughout history to answer their questions. All the great writers are here Dickens, dashing off his work; Henry James dictating it; Flaubert shouting each word aloud in the garden; Hemingway at work in cafés with his pencil. But pencil or pen, trusty typewriter or computer, they all have their advocates. Not to mention the writers who can only keep the words flowing by writing naked, or while walking or listening to music and generally obeying the most bizarre superstitions. On Shakespeare’s works: "Fantastic. And it was all done with a feather!" Sam Goldwyn "I write nude, seated on a thick towel, and perhaps with a second towel around me." Paul West "I’ve never heard of anyone getting plumber’s block, or traffic cop’s block." Allan Gurganus "I’m a drinker with a writing problem." Brendan Behan From the Hardcover edition. |

Exiles In The Garden $11.49 “One of the most astute writers of American fiction" ( New York Times Book Review ) delivers the resonant story of Alec Malone, a senator’s son who rejects the family business of politics for a career as a newspaper photographer. Alec and his Swiss wife, Lucia, settle in Georgetown next door to a couple whose émigré gatherings in their garden remind Lucia of all the things Americans are not. She leaves Alec as his career founders on his refusal of an assignment to cover the Vietnam War a slyly subversive fictional choice from Ward Just, who was himself a renowned war correspondent. At the center of the novel is Alec’s unforeseen reckoning with Lucia’s long-absent father, Andre Duran, a Czech living out the end of his life in a hostel called Goya House. Duran’s career as an adventurer and antifascist commando is everything Alec’s is not. The encounter forces Alec to confront just how different a life where things“terrible things, terrible things"happen is from a life where nothing much happens at all. |

Some Other Garden $11.59 An internationally celebrated novelist today, Jane Urquhart began her literary career as a poet. Some Other Garden brings together in a special new edition, illustrated by the beautiful photographs of Jennifer Dickson, two of Urquhart’s early poetry collections. These poems centre on another time and place while vividly evoking life in the court of the Sun King, Louis XIV, as seen through the dispassionate eyes of one of his most influential mistresses, Madame de Montespan. Set amidst the ornate gardens and backrooms of the palace of Versailles, the poems brilliantly map the play of desire, vanity, dominance, and mortality that transpires within a king’s garden. From the chateau at Marly and the machinations of the court at Versailles, to the worms that play their final game of love beneath the statues in the garden, Urquhart renders the intrigues of court and romantic entanglement with startling imagery and astonishing craftsmanship. Some Other Garden is a dazzling work of imagination from one of Canada’s most beloved writers. From the Hardcover edition. |

Island Garden by Thaxter, Celia [Paperback] $17.12 Celia Laighton Thaxter (18351894) was born in Portsmouth, NH. When she was four, her father became the lighthouse keeper on White Island in the Isles of Shoals. After resigning his post eight years later, he built a resort hotel on Appledore Island in Maine. The first of its kind on the New England coast, the hotel became a gathering place for writers and artists during the latter half of the 19th century. In her last year of life, Celia published this work, in which she lovingly describes her Appledore garden and its flowers. The flowers she grew in her cutting garden filled her own rooms and those of the hotel, and this work became famous for its descriptions of the oldfashioned flowers she grew there. Her island garden, a plot that measured 15 feet square, has been recreated and is open to visitors.

The Buffalo Writers $26 Upon returning on scholarship to an intense teachertraining and the Freedom Writers Institute in Long Beach, California, teacher Becky Dudney led her students to embark on a heartwrenching, consciencebuilding, transformational journey through reading and writing. Since her student population is considered atrisk, a study of the hardhitting Freedom Writers Diary was appropriate. The study turned into The Freedom Writers Curriculum Pilot Project, evolving then into the creation of The Buffalo Writers Diary. Students learned to see the parallels in the writing of others to their own lives and recorded their thoughts and feelings in the form of reflections which have led to lifechanging results. This book is also a guide for any teacher who seeks to reform his/her own approach to educating todays youth, or any population in need of guidance and inspiration.

Writers In Paris $14.19 No city has attracted so much literary talent, launched so many illustrious careers, or produced such a wealth of enduring literature as Paris.

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Titlepage to Rape upon Rape: or, The Justice Caught in His Own Trap Rape upon Rape , also known as Rape upon Rape; or, The Justice Caught in His Own Trap and The Coffee-House Politician , is a play by Henry Fielding . It was first performed at the Haymarket Theatre on 23 June 1730. The play is a love comedy that depicts the corruption rampant in politics and in the justice system. When two characters are accused of rape, they deal with the corrupt judge in separate manners. Though the play was influenced by the rape case of Colonel Francis Charteris , it used “rape” as an allegory to describe all abuses of freedom, as well as the corruption of power, though it was meant in a comedic, farcical manner.The play was not as successful as Fielding’s Tom Thumb , which ran alongside Rape upon Rape . The play allowed Fielding to express his political views through comedy. Critics have both praised and critiqued the play, but they generally agree that the humour is unsuitable because it is “indelicate”. Attempted adaptations of the play, including a musical and a film named after the play, have also been relatively unsuccessful.Background Rape upon Rape , or Rape upon Rape; or, The Justice Caught in His Own Trap was a five act comedic play that was written early 1730. It was advertised to start on 15 June 1730, but, after a delay, it first ran on 23 June 1730 at the |

1752 Works $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Covent-Garden Journal (modernised as The Covent Garden Journal) was an English literary periodical published twice a week for most of 1752. It was edited and almost entirely financed by novelist, playwright, and essayist Henry Fielding, under the pseudonym “Sir Alexander Drawcansir, Knt. Censor of Great Britain”. It was Fielding’s fourth and final periodical, and one of his last written works. The Journal incited the “Paper War” of 17521753, a conflict between a number of contemporary literary critics and writers, which began after Fielding declared war on the “armies of Grub Street” in the first issue. His proclamation attracted multiple aggressors and instigated a long-lasting debate argued in the pages of their respective publications. Initially waged for the sake of increasing sales, the Paper War ultimately became much larger than Fielding had expected and generated a huge volume of secondary commentary and literature. Further controversy erupted in June, when Fielding expressed support for a letter decrying the Government’s 1752 Disorderly House Act in the Journal. His remarks were viewed by the public as an endorsement of the legality of prostitution, and it soon became common opinion that the letter, initially attributed to a “Humphrey Meanwell”, was in fact written by Fielding. Fielding refuted this assertion in the 1 August issue of the Journal, while labelling prostitutes a source of social evils. The final issue of the Journal was released on 25 November 1752. In its last months, poor sales had resulted in a transition from biweekly to weekly release. Ill-health and a disinclination to continue led Fielding to end its run after the 72nd number. He died two years later while staying in Lisbon, Portugal. The Duke of Bedford, r… More: |

1753 in Great Britain: Paper War of 1752-1753 $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: In 1752, Henry Fielding started a “paper war”, a long term dispute with constant publication of pamphlets attacking other writers, between the various authors on London’s Grub Street. Although it began as a dispute between Fielding and John Hill, other authors, such as Christopher Smart, Bonnell Thornton, William Kenrick, Arthur Murphy, and Tobias Smollet were soon dedicating their works to aid various sides of the conflict. The dispute lasted until 1753 and involved many of London’s periodicals. It eventually resulted in countless essays, poems, and even a series of mock epic poems starting with Smart’s The Hilliad. Although it is unknown what actually started the dispute, it resulted in a divide of authors who either supported Fielding or supported Hill, and few in between. Fielding started a “paper war” in the first issue of The Covent-Garden Journal (4 January 1752) by declaring war against “hack writers”. In response, John Hill claimed in the London Daily Advertiser (9 January 1752) Fielding had met with him prior to January and proposed what would be a fake paper war that would involve London writers “giving Blows that would not hurt, and sharing the Advantage in Silence.” Such a meeting between Fielding and Hill to discuss the proposed war is believed to have occurred (if it occurred) on 28 December 1751. It is known that Hill met Fielding for legal business between 26 December and 28 December 1751 after Hill was robbed. Before Hill had revealed this information, he attacked Fielding’s Amelia in the London Daily Advertiser on 8 January 1752. The book’s title character, Amelia, was involved in an accident that damaged her face, and Hill, mocking the way Fielding described the scene, claimed that she “could charm the World without the … More: |

Excerpt: Deeg Palace is a palace situated near Bharatpur in Rajasthan state in India . Built in 1772 it lies 32 km from Bharatpur. History Deeg is an ancient town. It finds mention in Skanda Purana as “Dirgha” or “Dirghapura”. Deeg was the first capital of the newly carved out Jat state of Bharatpur, when Badan Singh was proclaimed its ruler in 1722. In 1730, the Maharaja Suraj Mal erected the strong fortress of Deeg. After Suraj Mal moved the capital to Bharatpur, Deeg became the second capital of the rulers of Bharatpur princely state . It is known for its number of forts, palaces, gardens and fountains.After assuming the throne, Badan Singh (172256 AD) consolidated the headship of the tribe and thereby became the virtual founder of the Jat house at Bharatpur . The credit of commencing the urbanization of Deeg also goes to him. It was he who selected this spot as the headquarters of his newly established Jat kingdom .The strong citadel with towering walls and bastions was erected slightly later in 1730 AD by Surajmal , the worthy son of Badan Singh. About the same period according to certain writers the large charming tank called Rup Sagar was built by Rup Singh, the brother of Badan Singh. The beautiful garden retreat adorning this city is the most outstanding of the artistic accomplishments of Surajmal and serves to this day a glorious memorial to the celebrated hero of the Jat tribe.

A Child’s Garden Of Verses (Illustrated Edition) $8.46 Robert Louis (Balfour) Stevenson (1850-1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of Neo-romanticism in English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov. Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson’s popularity and allow him a place in the Western canon. Stevenson was a celebrity in his own time, but with the rise of modern literature after World War I, he was seen for much of the 20th century as a writer of the second class, relegated to children’s literature and horror genres. His works include: An Inland Voyage (1878), Familiar Studies of Men and Books (1882), New Arabian Nights (1882), Kidnapped (1886), The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables (1887), Memories and Portraits (1887), Memoir of Fleeming Jenkin (1887), The Black Arrow (1888), and Master of Ballantrae: A Winter’s Tale (1889). |

A Harum-Scarum Schoolgirl $13.45 Angela Brazil (1868 – 1947) was one of the first English writers to write in the schoolgirl genre. The stories were told from the characters point of view. The stories were written not just as instructional stories but also to entertain. Brazil did not write any books in a series. Each stood on its own with unique characters. Her books dealt accurately and sympathetically with the events and emotions in the lives of middle-class schoolgirls, including the tangle of emotional friendships. Her works include: The New Girl at St. Chad’s (1911), For the Sake of the School (1915), The Luckiest Girl in the School (1916) and The Jolliest School of All (1922). This story begins, “The five girls were sitting in a retired corner of the garden at Pendlemere Abbey. On one side, above the tops of the rhododendron bushes, they could see the tall, twisted chimneys and flagged stone roof of the old house; on the other side, below the lawn and across the paddock, gleamed the silver waters of the lake, with its banks of rushes and alders, and beyond lay a range of grey hills that seemed to melt away into more distant peaks that merged into the mists on the horizon. It was a beautiful view, and on this hazy September afternoon, with the hidden sun sending long shafts of light from behind radiant masses of cloud, it formed a prospect that should have afforded keen aesthetic satisfaction to anybody who cared to look at it. Usually the girls appreciated its changeful glories, but to-day–this first day of a new term–they were too much taken up with their own grievances to think about scenery.” |

A Reading Diary: A Passionate Reader’s Reflections on a Year of Books $29.57 The must-have literary book of the season! Over the course of a year, the bestselling author of A History of Reading spends a month with each of his 12 favourite books, allowing us to observe both the heart of the reading experience and how life around us can be illuminated by what we read. From June 2002 to may 2003, Alberto Manguel set out to reread twelve of the books he likes best, and to share with us, his gentle readers, his impressions and experiences in doing so. We travel with him as he leaves Canada to set up house in a medieval presbytery in France, visits his childhood home in Argentina and embarks on trips to various other places, always carrying a book in his hand. The result is an immensely enjoyable collection for every lover of reading — something between an intimate diary, a collection of literary thoughts, and the best travel memoir. A Reading Diary ranges from reflections on much-loved writers — Margaret Atwood, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, Cervantes — to seductive introductions to others about whom you will want to know more, such as Sei Shonagon and Adolfo Bioy Casares, simultaneously providing insights into the world of today, its changing seasons and pleasures, its shifting politics and wars — all illuminated by the great novel he is reading at the time. A Reading Diary is a walk through a year’s worth of best beloved books in the company of an eclectically learned friend. Touching on themes of home and wandering, memory and loss, Alberto Manguel perfectly traces the threads between our reading and our lived experience. Excerpt from A Reading Diary: JuneSaturday We have been in our house in France for just over a year, and already I have to leave, to visit my family in Buenos Aires. I don’t want to go. I want to enjoy the village in summer, the garden, the house kept cool by the thick ancient walls. I want to start setting up the books on the shelves we have just had built. I want to sit in my room |

A Spirit in Prison $2.99 She laughed gently, standing quite still. Her dress and her gloves were white, but she had on a small black hat, very French, and at the back of her hair there was a broad black ribbon tied in a big bow. This ribbon marked her exact age clearly, he thought.”This is a new frock, and my very smartest,” she said; “and you dared to abuse Paris!”"Being a man. I must retract now. You are right, we cannot do without it. But-have you an umbrella?”"An umbrella?”She moved and laughed again, much more gayly.”I am serious. Come here and look at Ischia.”She went with him quickly to the window.”That blackness does look wicked. But it’s a long way off.”-from Chapter XIIOne of the most popular fiction writers of the early 20th century, Robert Hichens was beloved for the enchanting romance of his prose.

Across The Plains $11.99 I always imagine St. Andrews to be an ineffectual seat of learning, and the sound of the east wind and the bursting surf to linger in its drowsy classrooms and confound the utterance of the professor…-from “Random Memories”With observations both trenchant and sentimental from the keen eye of one of the 19th century’s most beloved writers, this charming volume, first published in 1892, is a delightful potpourri of Robert Louis Stevenson’s essays. Within:. a recounting of an overland trip from New York to San Francisco, with thoughts on the people and landscape of America. a valentine to a French artists’ colony… and a withering eye for the artists themselves (“‘Snoozing’ is a part of the artistic education”). commentary on the cantankerous and windswept nature of “The Coast of Fife” and the value of “The Education of an Engineer.”These musings of an inveterate wandering and keen spectator of life serve as a glimpse into the mind and memories of an author’s imagination, and serve as a vital psychological backdrop for the tales of adventure, romance, and horror related in Stevenson’s fiction.Scottish writer and poet ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON (1850-1894) was born in Edinburgh to a prosperous family of engineers, but gave up the family profession first for law and then for literature. Among his prodigious output as a writer are: Treasure Island (1883), The Black Arrow (1884), A Child’s Garden of Verses (1885), Kidnapped (1886), and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886). |

All That Matters: What Is It We Value in School and Beyond? $35 All That Matters examines learning and evaluation and the need to bring the two together in more relevant ways. Rief and Barbieri invite us to consider how we might best develop our students’ strengths, presenting a collection of truly useful-and often novel-approaches. The voices recorded in All That Matters are those of risk takers: teachers who seek greater insight into, and respect for, children; enthusiasts who incorporate the unexpected into their teaching-art, music, gardening, foreign languages, and more. Above all, they are the voices of lifelong learners who share their passion with students and colleagues, parents and family. These teachers are willing to chance failure because they understand that learning is as essential to our survival as breathing; learning is what keeps us alive. From them, we learn ways to: examine the potential of portfolios to reflect different kinds of intelligence balance individual needs with those of the entire class discover ways to enhance professional development within school walls involve parents in meaningful, ongoing evaluation recognize and honor students’ and teachers’ passions in the classroom and beyond. Woven in among their classroom stories are “Interludes,” where teacher-writers reflect on what matters most in their lives. What makes a teacher write a poem honoring a town’s courage in the face of bigotry? What makes another teacher reminisce about her mother’s garden or a community’s loyalty or a father’s faith? Rief and Barbieri believe that teachers like these, who know what they really cherish, can help us all better define what we value for our students. More important, they help us achieve it. |

American Georgics: Writings on Farming, Culture, and the Land $27.5 From Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello to Michelle Obama’s White House organic garden, the image of America as a nation of farmers has persisted from the beginnings of the American experiment. In this rich and evocative collection of agrarian writing from the past two centuries, writers from Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur to Wendell Berry reveal not only the great reach and durability of the American agrarian ideal, but also the ways in which society has contested and confronted its relationship to agriculture over the course of generations.Drawing inspiration from Virgil’s agrarian epic poem, Georgics, this collection presents a complex historical portrait of the American character through its relationship to the land. From the first European settlers eager to cultivate new soil, to the Transcendentalist, utopian, and religious thinkers of the nineteenth century, American society has drawn upon the vision of a pure rural life for inspiration. Back-to-the-land movements have surged and retreated in the past centuries yet provided the agrarian roots for the environmental movement of the past forty years. Interpretative essays and a sprinkling of illustrations accompany excerpts from each of these periods of American agrarian thought, providing a framework for understanding the sweeping changes that have confronted the nation’s landscape. |

American Romanticism and the Marketplace $21.51 This book can take its place on the shelf beside Henry Nash Smith’s Virgin Land and Leo Marx’s The Machine in the Garden. –Choice [Gilmore] demonstrates the profound, sustained, engagement with society embodied in the works of Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau and Melville. In effect, he relocates the American Renaissance where it properly belongs, at the centre of a broad social, economic, and ideological movement from the Jacksonian era to the Civil War. Basically, Gilmore’s argument concerns the writers’ participation in what Thoreau called ‘the curse of trade.’ He details their mixed resistance to and complicity in the burgeoning literary marketplace and, by extension, the entire’ economic revolution’ which between 1830 and 1860 ‘transformed the United States into a market society’. . . . The result is a model of literary-historical revisionism. Gilmore’s opening chapters on Emerson and Thoreau show that ‘transcendental’ thought and language can come fully alive when understood within the material processes and ideological constraints of their time. . . . The remaining five chapters, on Hawthorne and Melville, contain some of the most penetrating recent commentaries on the aesthetic strategies of American Romantic fiction, presented within and through some of the most astute, thoughtful considerations I know of commodification and the ‘democratic public’ in mid-nineteenth-century America. . . . Practically and methodologically, American Romanticism and the Marketplace has a significant place in the movement towards a new American literary history. It places Gilmore at the forefront of a new generation of critics who are not just reinterpreting familiar texts or discoveringnew texts to interpret, but reshaping our ways of thinking about literature and culture. –Sacvan Bercovitch, Times Literary Supplement Gilmore writes with energy, clarity, and wit. The reader is enriched by this book. William H. Shurr, American Literature |

An Extraordinary Year of Ordinary Days $24.95 From Eudora Welty’s memoir of childhood to May Sarton’s reflections on her seventieth year, writers’ journals offer an irresistible opportunity to join a creative thinker in musing on the events–whether in daily life or on a global scale–that shape our lives. In An Extraordinary Year of Ordinary Days, best-selling mystery novelist Susan Wittig Albert invites us to revisit one of the most tumultuous years in recent memory, 2008, through the lens of 365 ordinary days in which her reading, writing, and thinking about issues in the wider world–from wars and economic recession to climate change–caused her to reconsider and reshape daily practices in her personal life.Albert’s journal provides an engaging account of how the business of being a successful working writer blends with her rural life in the Texas Hill Country and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico. As her eclectic daily reading ranges across topics from economics, food production, and oil and energy policy to poetry, place, and the writing life, Albert becomes increasingly concerned about the natural world and the threats facing it, especially climate change and resource depletion. Asking herself, “What does it mean? And what ought I do about it?”, she determines practical steps to take, such as growing more food in her garden, and also helps us as readers make sense of these issues and consider what our own responses might be. |

An Island Garden $13.48 “Celia Laighton Thaxter (1835-1894) was born in Portsmouth, NH. When she was four, her father became the lighthouse keeper on White Island in the Isles of Shoals. After resigning his post eight years later, he built a resort hotel on Appledore Island in Maine. The first of its kind on the New England coast, the hotel became a gathering place for writers and artists during the latter half of the 19th century. In her last year of life, Celia published this work, in which she lovingly describes her Appledore garden and its flowers. The flowers she grew in her cutting garden filled her own rooms and those of the hotel, and this work became famous for its descriptions of the old-fashioned flowers she grew there. Her island garden, a plot that measured 15 feet square, has been re-created and is open to visitors.” |

Anomalies And Curiosities Of Medicine – Part I $25.86 “Menstruation has always been of interest, not only to the student of medicine, but to the lay-observer as well. In olden times there were many opinions concerning its causation, all of which, until the era of physiologic investigation, were of superstitious derivation. Believing menstruation to be the natural means of exit of the feminine bodily impurities, the ancients always thought a menstruating woman was to be shunned; her very presence was deleterious to the whole animal economy, as, for instance, among the older writers we find that Pliny remarks: “On the approach of a woman in this state, must will become sour, seeds which are touched by her become sterile, grass withers away, garden plants are parched up, and the fruit will fall from the tree beneath which she sits.

Art of Graeme Base $65 “With the eye of a Renaissance painter and the ear of Dr. Seuss, Aussie Graeme Base is not your basic children’s book author.” —People  This unique book, lavishly illustrated with original art and offering never before seen photographs and art, is an evocative look at the life and work of beloved and bestselling author and artist Graeme Base, the creator of the children’s classics Animalia and The Eleventh Hour, as well as recent bestsellers The Water Hole, Jungle Drums, and Uno’s Garden. This book goes beyond his children’s book legacy to offer a candid peek into the mind of a creative genius. Beginning with Base’s own storybook childhood in England, we see how his imagination was fed by his family’s love of music, literature, and nature; and how his talent was enriched by travel, teachers, friends, and his wife and their three children. From Base’s earliest drawings, pop-up cards, and homemade board games, through his years as a teenager and rock musician, and through a quarter-century of published books, we learn about the artists, musicians, writers, and humorists who inspired him, and witness the working of one artist’s extraordinary mind. |

Becoming Elizabeth Lawrence: Discovered Letters of a Southern Gardener $10.82 Ann Preston Bridgers, who first studied drama at Smith College and later lived in New York City to be close to Broadway, was the pride of Raleigh, North Carolina, where she founded the Little Theatre, a New Deal Federal Theatre project. In 1927, she coauthored with George Abbott Coquette, starring Helen Hayes. In 1929, Coquette became Mary Pickford’s first talking movie. The role won her an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1930. Ann, like George Abbott, was a great encourager of the young. Her talent for friendship and for identifying the talent of others led to her correspondence with Elizabeth Lawrence, who would become one of America’s best garden writers.Elizabeth, a graduate of Barnard College and the first female graduate from the landscape design program at what is now North Carolina State University, was struggling to make a career for herself in Raleigh at a time when there was little work for landscape designers, especially women and especially in the South.When Ann moved back to Raleigh in the early 1930s, she and Elizabeth struck up a friendship that continued after Elizabeth moved to Charlotte in 1948 and endured until Ann’s death in 1967. They were two women of different generations (Ann was the older) who valued their opinions and their privacy and did not conform to images of the so-called Southern lady. Ann encouraged Elizabeth to find a way to live as she wished and guided her to write articles for some of the new women’s magazines. Elizabeth was already making a splendid garden, and with Ann’s help she began to write about her passion. By 1942, she was so successful that her book, A Southern Garden, was published. It is still considereda classic.Although only a small number of Ann’s letters were preserved, editor Emily Herring Wilson discovered a treasure trove of Elizabeth’s letters to her mentor. Through those letters, readers can glimpse what life in a Southern town was like for women, especially during the |

Beginnings: Ancient Christian Readings of the Biblical Creation Narratives $25 What are we missing when we look at the creation narratives of Genesis only or primarily through the lens of modern discourse about science and religion? Theologian Peter Bouteneff explores how first-millennium Christian understandings of creation can inform current thought in the church and in the public square. He reaches back into the earliest centuries of our era to recover the meanings that early Jewish and Christian writers found in the stories of the six days of creation and of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Readers will find that their forbears in the faith saw in the Genesis narrative not simply an account of origins but also a rich teaching about the righteousness of God, the saving mission of Christ, and the destiny of the human creature. |

Best Of Green Space $13.04 Best of Green Space: 30 Years of Composted Columns, by Duane Campbell,with ink drawings by Betty Mackey. Here is garden technique, duffer to advanced, crossed with curmudgeonly humor. This book gives you Duane Campbell's famous great cheapological garden advice and many a laugh from January through December. His widely syndicated newspaper columns have been a hit with readers for over 30 years. "This is really going to scare Duane Campbell, but I think we're identical twins separated at birth. Why? Two reasons: we love the same plants and we both know humor, not boredom, is what makes readers read. His new book, Best of Green Space: 30 Years of Composted Columns,is a laugh-out-loud gem that deserves a place on your bookshelf. By the end of the first page you'll understand why "humorous writing"is not necessarily an oxymoron for garden book writers. And by the end of the book you'll have a large dose of accurate gardening advice from a writer who obviously has great taste in plants."-Art Wolk, Author of Garden Lunacy: A Growing Concern and legendary plantsman"Duane Campbell has a plaque in his garden that says, "Work is for people who don't know how to garden." Well, by that logic, if you read this book you won't have to work-because you'll sure know how to garden. Best of Green Space is full of here's-what-I-figured-out advice, all delivered in an affable but no-nonsense voice from someone who is clearly a hands-on, dirty-nailed, and green-thumbed gardener.No wonder people have been reading Campbell's column for 30 years!"-Pat Stone, Editor, GreenPrints, "The Weeder's Digest." |

Beyond Words – A Book Of Poetic Delight $18 Beyond Words – A book of contemporary poetry which captures a true depth of the human spirit and consciousness and yet profound in it’s simplicity and refreshing in it’s accessibility. This book reaches in beyond the mind and emotions and stirs the soul. It includes 5 free downloadable tracks which are a wonderful addition to immerse yourself in the poet’s work.”I adore the visual, metaphorical, lyrical and emotional twists. I love her playful double entendre. Audiences are a lot smarter than most writers think. People can handle very complicated thoughts, plots and emotions. Her writing is fun like a puzzle or a riddle that unfolds and for me that is why her poetry sings.”~ Nanette Davidson, Life Coach and Relationship ExpertAbout the Author: Tamsin Rothschild lives in downtown Los Angeles and has a labyrinth in her garden. Her house is named the “Home of the Traveler” which is fitting because she is South African born and bred, lived in Sydney, Australia for six years and now calls the US home. Her love of acting was instantaneous when she stepped foot inside her first theater at the age of eight. From that moment, she dedicated herself to the craft of acting, meandered into directing and producing theater and all the time believing whole heartedly in the ability of live performance to transform an individual. Then, almost by accident, she stumbled across her gift of writing and became enchanted with the magic of words. Her poems, enhanced by her unique and engaging performance style, are a treat. This book, Beyond Words, is a collection of her poems from her debut theatrical show of the same name. Included are five free downloadable tracks of some of herfavorites. performance bookings/inquiries/ordering books visit tamsinrothschild.com |

Bliss And Other Stories $17.99 Kathleen Mansfield Murry (1888-1923) was a prominent New Zealand modernist writer of short fiction. She took on the pen-name Katherine Mansfield upon the publication of her first collection of short stories, In a German Pension, in 1911. She also contracted gonorrhoea around this time, an event that was to plague her with arthritic pain for the rest of her short life, as well as to make her view herself as a ‘soiled’ woman. Her life and work were changed forever with the death of her brother, a soldier, during World War I. She was shocked and traumatised by the experience, so much so that her work began to take refuge in the nostalgic reminiscences of their childhood in New Zealand. Miss Brill, the bittersweet story of a fragile woman living an ephemeral life of observation and simple pleasures in Paris, established Mansfield as one of the preeminent writers of the Modernist period, upon its publication in 1920′s. She followed with the equally praised collection, The Garden Party, published in 1922. |

Bloom: Stories of the Drama of Coming of Age $0.01 For every man and woman, there is a moment still remembered when they left the things of their childhood, when the world presented itself to them in its full splendor and awfulness and they walked out of the garden, into the wider world. Bloom: Stories of the Drama of Coming of Age collects those flashing seconds of maturity and loss, of wonder and disappointment, liberation and responsibility, as they’ve been written by the greatest names in world literature. With the help of writers ranging from Barbara Kingsolver, Russell Banks, Sherwood Anderson, and Lorrie Moore, to Arundhati Roy, Gregor von Rezzori, Jacki Lyden, and Rick Moody, we can both remember who we once were and recommit ourselves to who we have become. |

Book Of Fruits $24.85 THE POIOLOGICAL GARDEN was commenced in 1803, with the design of forming a large collection of specimen trees of such varieties of foreign and native fruits, as were hardy enough to endure the indemency of a northern winter. After a strict examination of the produce of these trees, carefully comparing the wood, the leaf and the fruit, with the figures and descriptions in the most popular works on Pomology, it was intended to select for permanent cultivation, those varieties which were at once fitted to the climate of New England, and of high merit in themselves. In furtherance of this purpose, we have assiduously culled from American catalogues all that we judged worthy of trial, and imported from the first European establishments, the fruits most in repute with the writers of their respective countries. We have never limited ourselves to one specimen, but have in every instance, procured trees of each name from many different sources, in order the more surely to arrive at correct conclusions respecting their identity, as well as to multiply our means of estimating their comparative value……. |

Herbs, from basil to thyme, and including bay leaves, fennel, and saffron crocus. Edible Flowers, such as begonias, calendula, pansies, violets, and roses.
