The Paper Garden by Molly Peacock

The Paper Garden by Molly Peacock

An inspirational tour de force that proves it's never too late to be who you might have been

‘Peacock has structured the whole book as metaphor, a collage about collage, and a meditation on sexuality, friendship and creativityIt both analyses and exemplifies that obsessional, mesmerised state induced in artists and crafts people through concentration and close observation. The volume itself is a craft object, sumptuously presented and designed ... The Paper Garden will be everyone's favourite Christmas present this year' * Victoria Glendinning, Globe and Mail *
'In this charming biography of her heroine, Peacock finds parallels between her own life and Mrs. Delany's that bring this text, and this person to life' * Nancy Milford, author of Zelda *
'Whatever the subject, rich music follows the tap of Molly Peacock's baton' * Washington Post *
