Explore "The Librarian at Play" by Edmund Lester Pearson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Toward spring the books on gardening begin to come into the library, and I look them over with fresh enthusiasm. Mrs. Bunkum is no longer my favorite author in this field, but her sister writers are very dear to my heart.
There is Mrs. Reginald Creasus. I seize her latest volume with the eagerness of a child. I like to see the pictures of the new marble bench which she has imported from Pompeii and set up at the end of the Rose Walk. Then she usually has a new sculptured group -- a fountain, or some other little trifle by Rodin or St. Gaudens, which looks so well amidst the Japanese iris.
