Lady Hollyhock and Her Friends: A Book of Nature Dolls and Others

Step into a garden where vegetables become queens and flowers transform into friends. Lady Hollyhock, crafted from a green tomato and hollyhock blossoms, rules over a whimsical world where the West children and their cousin Charlotte discover that the garden provides everything needed for imagination to bloom. Radishes, corn, poppies, and all manner of garden bounty become characters in their playful stories, each one brought to life through clever hands and wondering eyes. The lyrical rhymes dance through their adventures, capturing the pure joy of making something magical from the ordinary gifts of nature. This 1906 treasure invites young creators to see their backyard not as a plot of land, but as an atelier of possibilities where the only limit is what their imagination can grow.
