Synopsis

A Book For My Friend assumes a shared delight in the beauty of the natural world. It is an ideal gift to bestow on a good friend. Welleran Poltarnees again works his magic at finding the perfect image to vitalize each thought. Here he takes an old poem called ?Let's Be Friends? and makes of it a book that we think will deepen one's appreciation of the natural world and the simple pleasures of daily life.

About this title

About the Author:

WELLERAN POLTARNEES has a lifelong love of gardens. His first memory is falling out of his baby carriage and landing on a bed of odorous white flowers which not only kept him from injury, but made the experience a sensual delight. He collects books about, and pictures of, gardens -- but there are few timeless things that he does not so honor. He uses a book called Great Gardens of the World as a guide whenever he travels, and, with the exception of the Boboli Gardens in Florence, which came highly recommended and which he found monotonous -- the gardens have always refreshed him. His favorite time for gardens is night. His favorite garden music is Manuel De Falla's ""Nights in the Gardens of Spain"", and his favorite garden poem is ""The Garden"" by Andrew Marvell.
