From The North American Review, Volume 194 (1911): "Wallace...lived once in a serious-fronted house on the Rue des Saint Peres, but her bedroom window looked out on a garden...from here the author makes trips to Fontainebleau, describes the garden of Tante Placide's gentle heart, or discourses in the garden of Life. Tender, evanescent, slight, and gentle, these essays in and on a garden have a very special charm, and once again it is a pity that they are not better illustrated." A crisp copy.
