Stories told in and about gardens, from the smallest back yard to the largest country estate. Step into the garden, find a shady spot under a branch and discover folk tales told in gardens, about plants, people and nature. Much like stories, gardens can evoke joy, soothe sadness and help us understand our relationship with the world. This anthology follows a year of stories, myths and legends in the garden.

Reviews for Folk Tales from the Garden

"""I loved this book, you soon find you cannot put it down as you travel from month to month."" ""The stories are short enough to pick up and read one at a time, then put the book back down to return to later. It’s charming in every way, with beautiful illustrations from Annalisa Salis."""
