Synopses & Reviews
The Writer In The Garden and More Writers In The Garden (both AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winners) are available for the first time on CD as single collection. Gardens and gardening are a source of inspiration for writers and poets. Here is a wonderfully rich selection--75 in all--of garden writing: amusing, ironic, poignant and opinionated; taken from essays, fiction, diaries, poetry, journalism, and letters; by writers from both sides of the Atlantic; and from the nineteenth century to the present. You'll want to listen to this marvelous anthology, created exclusively for audio, not only during your commute but also as you enjoy--or long for--your own bit of garden.
