Folk Tales from the Garden Summary

Folk Tales from the Garden by Donald Smith

The garden is an oasis, a pocket of nature in our busy modern lives, full of plants, animals, insects - and a fair bit of magic.

Folk Tales from the Garden follows the seasons through a year of stories, garden lore and legends. Explore the changing face of nature just outside your front door, from the tale of the Creator painting her birds and the merits of kissing an old toad, to pixies sleeping in the tulips, and an unusually large turnip.

Folk Tales from the Garden Reviews

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.
