Publisher's Synopsis
Kew Gardens is a collection of short stories written by T. Mower Martin and first published in 1908. The book is set in the famous Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, London, and each story is centered around a different character or group of characters who visit the gardens. The stories explore themes of love, loss, and human connection, as well as the beauty and wonder of nature. Martin's writing is lyrical and descriptive, bringing the gardens to life on the page and immersing the reader in their sights, sounds, and scents. Some of the characters in the book include a young couple on a romantic outing, a group of schoolchildren on a field trip, and an elderly woman reflecting on her life. Each story is self-contained, but together they create a rich and varied portrait of life in and around Kew Gardens. Kew Gardens is considered a classic of early 20th-century literature and has been praised for its vivid imagery and emotional depth. It remains a beloved work of fiction for nature lovers and literary enthusiasts alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
