Full description

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett has always been one of my favourite books, and was the source of inspiration for this mini-zine which I wrote in honour of Earth Day 2010 (April 22nd).

It includes quotations from the original novel, a spot the difference 'contest' (do you know how different the American and European robin are?), gardening tips from two of The Secret Garden's main characters (Mary Lennox & Dickon Sowerby), and a review of The Secret Garden, plus its 'sequels'. All packed into one concise little mini-zine!

A Bit of Earth is printed on beautiful handmade lokta* paper, embedded with hemp seeds, and includes a separate packet of poppy seeds for you to plant and grow. The pages are decorated with hand-doodled floral corners. Your copy of A Bit of Earth will be individually packaged in a glassine packet, and is sealed with a TangleCrafts label (see 3rd photo above), making it a thoughtful gift, or an extra special treat for yourself!

*N.B. #1: Lokta paper is made from the lokta shrub by harvesting its bark. It is not cut down, but instead regrows, making it a wonderfully sustainable, renewable, natural source of paper.
