of Margaret Gatty, originally published in London in 1923, back in print as part of our ""A Living Book About Nature"" series! The best-selling children's author in England during her time, Juliana Ewing's tale of a group of siblings who find an old book and aspire to bring it to life will bring out the gardening instinct in your children.

Each child takes a special part in making their property into a beautiful garden - from Harry, the ""root-gatherer"", who learns about and proceeds to propagate plants, to Mary, the ""traveller's joy"", who chooses the job of planting and propagating plants in the unexpected places to surprise those travelling by the wayside, you'll learn, through this delightful story, the benefits of
composting, transplanting, dividing plants, mulching, and so much more - and be compelled to create your own ""Earthly Paradise"", like the children in the story!
