Excerpt from The True Garden of EdenMy principal object in writing this book is to make others see nature as she should be seen. Its theme is the ripple of the brook; the mur mur of the trees; the swish of the wave and the splash of the oar. It is the silence of the shady road; the quietude of the deserted camp.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
