An Island Garden is a beautiful book written by Celia Thaxter, an American poet and writer. The book is a collection of essays that describe the author's garden on Appledore Island, off the coast of Maine. Thaxter's garden was a place of great beauty, filled with flowers, herbs, and vegetables that she carefully tended and nurtured. In this book, she shares her love for her garden, describing the plants she grew, the birds and insects that visited, and the changing seasons on the island. Thaxter's writing is lyrical and poetic, and she brings to life the sights, sounds, and smells of her garden. The book is illustrated with beautiful watercolor paintings by Childe Hassam, a friend of Thaxter's who also spent time on Appledore Island. An Island Garden is a timeless classic that will inspire and delight anyone who loves gardens, nature, and the beauty of the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
