Description: Brand New copy in a classic arts-and-crafts green-and-gold slipcase. A beautiful copy of a beloved gem for gardeners. Makes a wonderful gift. Exquisite reproduction of Thaxter and Hassam’s original 1894 publication, with a new introduction by Allen Lacy. Thaxter was a popular and respected poet, essayist, and journalist of the late 19th century who spent her life, from childhood, among the New England literati, mostly in the community that gathered around her father’s hotel on Appledore Island off the coast of Maine. By the time she took over the hotel, the community had expanded to include artists like Hassam, one of America’s premier impressionist painters, who produced some of his best work in her flower garden. This is their collaboration, full of lyrical prose and practical gardening advice and bursting with Hassam’s watercolors.
