Down in the Garden

This book is almost too cute to sell! By cleverly dressing some of her young friends up as carrots, sunflowers, bumble bees, and other garden lovelies, Geddes may have made the classic "adorableness" page turner.

Do you believe in fairies? If so, this book will delight you. "It wasn't produced for someone who isn't a believer in things magical," observes photographer Anne Geddes, who clearly is. What is also abundantly clear is that she appreciates the charm of babies and small children, and the role that fantasy plays in their young lives. Her tiny models become fairies, gnomes, sunflowers, water lilies, field mice, ladybugs, and peas in a pod in this amusing and endearing volume.
