The Shakespeare Garden
Esther Singleton
Shakespeare's plays bloom with real gardens, and Esther Singleton reconstructs them. She walks through the garden of delight, the Italian Renaissance garden, and the Tudor and Elizabethan grounds the playwright knew. Learned, lovely, and rich with flowers and history. A charming tour of the gardens behind the poetry. Stroll the flower-filled grounds of Shakespeare's age and see the plays take root in soil.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
