A popular poet in her day  Thaxter is best remembered for AN ISLAND GARDEN  originally published by Houghton Mifflin in 1894. The book chronicles a year in the life of Thaxters garden on the island her father had purchased in 1848 and renamed Appledore Island. The hotel he built there was among New Englands first offshore summer resorts and attracted writers  musicians  and artists  including the American Impressionist Childe Hassam  whose beautiful paintings of Thaxters house and garden are reproduced in this book. Considered one of the most delightful examples of horticultural writing  AN ISLAND GARDEN has served as an inspiration for essayists and gardeners alike since its first publication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276565536821,"sku":"ByrdShop_061819908X","price":240.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780618199082.jpg?v=1780555918","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/an-island-garden-9780618199082","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
