    Description

    Decorative Binding, Illustrated, Leather Binding

    In the Bumpus full calf binding with gilt detailing. 

    The second edition of this work.

    With a monochrome frontispiece, a vignette to title and twenty two plates of illustrations. Collated complete.

    This work explores various features and insights into Milman's Garden of Peace, a place that the author had settled in as her home. 

    She speaks lovingly of the birds, sun-dial and growth of the garden in a poetic, almost fictitious style and dedicated the work to her sister.
