This is a very beautiful large volume written and illustrated by a renown Victorian-era painter, with her signature on a glued-in insert on the flyleaf (see photo). Its 195 pages contain chapters about the garden through all the months of the year, with 18 full color plates by the author in fine quality prints on heavy teal green card. The cover is also teal green cloth with a large Art Nouveau illustration of a Fritillary in bloom in gilt stamping. This copy must be rated poor condition because the cover is separating from the spine, as shown, and the cloth outer spine is disconnected 3/4 way down. However, the interior is in better condition, with only some browning of outer pages. ALL the plates are present, and are very lovely. This is a gem.

Author hand-signed first editions. Author will dedicate to an individual if desired. Must make a note when you purchase the book.

With him, his father and young son, Barton, it is hoped that the centuries' old La Barre family curse will finally end. But for him, he must stay an honorable man and live humbly, and teach his children to do the same. For the family of French Plantation owners in Louisiana, the curse is still viable, and the Barre men certainly take it seriously for temptation can lead to destruction of all they hold dear. It is 1928, and life while simple as a carpenter/furniture maker in Beaumont Texas, with a lovely wife, Charlotte, and three young sons, Richard feels he is luckier than most people. Yet fate and the fates of the world about him, conspire to throw him tempting wild cards. He must choose wisely to save his family and perhaps his soul. For each tempting gain, Richard feels an ill wind blow. After the stock market crash of 1929, any joys or slight rewards are forever diminished. Richard hopes to be a spiritual guiding compass to save his son, Barton, as the world seems to fall apart. The Barre family following their family motto, " Nous sommes contre les vents ", must prevail against the ill winds that blow. Adult themes/language, romance, coming-of-age romance, family saga.
