Synopsis:
The Gardener's Year is a timeless classic of wit and wisdom, sure to capture the heart and imagination of every gardener--indeed, everyone who has pursued any hobby with a passion that occasionally overrides good common sense. Originally published more than fifty years ago in Czechoslovakia, it transcends the years with grace and ease. Fifty-eight sprightly drawings by the author's brother, Josef Capek, lend themselves perfectly to the artful simplicity and humor of this book.
Review:
"THE GARDENER'S YEAR...captures wonderfully the absurd spectacle of gardening. He plays the bemused observer in this little book, but he cannot hide his obvious affection for the simple suburban garden or his understanding of how important the sanctity of the garden was to his countrymen."
Adrian Higgins, Washington Post Book World, 03/10/2002
Review:"Karel Capek was a playwright in the theater of the absurd....He brought that sense of absurdity to the garden...."
Michael Pollan, Time Out (New York), 03/14/2002
