Synopsis "Jane Austen's Garden: A Botanical Tour of the Classic Novels"

A celebration of Jane Austen's life and literature as told through the flowers, plants, and landscapes that inspired her. Through explorations of the botanical inspirations and symbolism in Austen's work and personal life, as well as historical information about the gardens and landscapes of the Regency Era, Jane Austen's Garden will transport readers back in time to the lush English landscape of the early 1800s. Included in the narrative are DIY gardening projects to help you create a home garden worthy of a surprise visit from Lady Catherine de Bourgh or maybe just give your office plant setup a bit of historical flair. Accessible, entertaining, and enhanced by the enchanted illustrations of celebrated artist Jessica Roux, Jane Austen's Garden is a fun twist on a familiar subject that will delight plant lovers and Janeites alike.
