The statuary gardens ****

Jacques Bee

A hundred days after the death of its author, the reissue of a major novel, part exploration, part fantasy, part story and part fable. The action takes place in an imaginary world where statues grow, works of designer gardeners. A parable of art seen as the accompaniment of an inspiration rather than a mechanical process, this novel combines benevolence and stylistic performance. To embrace as one immerses oneself in Tolkien.
