MORE WRITERS IN THE GARDEN

Listening to the fascinating, funny, poignant essays in More Writers in the Garden causes garden fever. So be forewarned, if you listen in the winter, you may find yourself repotting all your houseplants just to get your hands in some soil. Americans read American writers, and English voices read the English writers in this collection. This highlights the differences between the two nations' gardening philosophies and makes one wonder--is it compost or compöst? No matter, these marvelous essays give eloquent voice to the passion that is gardening--the passion, as writer Robin Chotzinoff's Aunt Cookie says, "to grow something impossible just for the challenge."
