An Enchanted Garden - Molesworth

. .

Résumé :
A spark of wonder, a doorway to a garden where the ordinary becomes miraculous. An Enchanted Garden invites young dreamers and old souls alike to wander paths where magic grows from the rhythm of nature itself. In these fairy tales and fantasy short stories, Mrs. Molesworth gathers warmth, whimsy, and moral quietude into a timeless fairy tale anthology. With clear, lyrical prose, the book invites readers to see the world anew-through enchanted garden themes and gentle marvels that awaken curiosity, courage, and kindness. It is a bedtime reading collection that rewards repeat visits, inviting families to share quiet wonder and expansive imaginations. Historically, the collection stands as a link in British literary heritage, reflecting late nineteenth-century sensibilities and the Victorian England setting that shaped so many cherished tales. The influence of George MacDonald and the era's sensibilities cast a lasting glow on the genre, making this work meaningful not only as storytelling but as a cultural beacon. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure-an affordable, enduring gift for families, and a cherished addition for casual readers and classic-literature collectors seeking a gentle, magical escape into nature and wonder....
