Author: DANIEL E. BLAJAN Title: Foxgloves and Hedgehog Days. Secrets in a Country Garden
Description: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company, 1997. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 170. Like Keats, "long in city pent, " Daniel Blajan moves from his urban condominium to a cottage in a rural village. In Foxgloves and Hedgehog Days he introduces us to the flora, fauna, and neighbors in his new life, regaling us with amusing anecdotes about his adjustments to country living. Like the time he convinced the local bureaucracy that the rush matting fence he had erected to hide an eyesore had grown roots and was therefore a hedge, not subject to fence height laws. Or the day all the rooftops in the village sprouted yellow flowers. Or the ceremony surrounding the death of the community's old linden tree, and the final miracle it displayed. Whether describing his visiting neighbors or the squirrel who finally had to be given his own squirrel door, Daniel Blajan has written a book that will bring back the joys of reading aloud.
