The Wonder Garden

The Wonder Garden is a collection of nature myths and tales from all over the world, compiled by Frances Jenkins Olcott and originally published in 1919. The book is intended for storytelling and reading aloud, as well as for children to read on their own. The stories are organized by geographic region, including Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and the Pacific Islands. The myths and tales explore the relationship between humans and nature, and the ways in which different cultures have understood and interacted with the natural world. The stories range from creation myths to tales of talking animals, and are accompanied by illustrations that bring the characters and landscapes to life. The Wonder Garden is a timeless collection that celebrates the diversity and wonder of the natural world, and invites readers of all ages to explore the myths and tales that have shaped our understanding of it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
