The Writer in the Garden, an anthology of garden writing culled from essays, fiction, poetry, journalism, diaries, and letters, won a bouquet of rave reviews:
"Enchanting and unusual...a spoken word celebration of flowers, earth and growing things." -USA Today
"Engrossing and inspiring." -House & Garden
"Spellbinding." -Victoria
"A great way to become familiar with old and new classics while driving to work or on a long trip, or working in the garden." -National Gardening
"As a gift for a gardener there's nothing better." -Christian Science Monitor
Listeners who loved The Writer in the Garden will be delighted by More Writers in the Garden. In the tradition of the first collection, it's a potpourri of philosophical meanderings, passionate observations, and practical advice for the armchair gardener.
Listening to the fascinating, funny, poignant essays in More Writers in the Garden causes garden fever. So be forewarned, if you listen in the winter, you may find yourself repotting all your houseplants just to get your hands in some soil. Americans read American writers, and English voices read the English writers in this collection. This highlights the differences between the two nations' gardening philosophies and makes one wonder--is it compost or compÜst? No matter, these marvelous essays give eloquent voice to the passion that is gardening--the passion, as writer Robin Chotzinoff's Aunt Cookie says, "to grow something impossible just for the challenge."
