Summer in a Garden and Calvin, A Study of Character

by Charles Dudley Warner

This book presents a dual narrative. The first part is a personal and introspective account of the author's experience tending his garden over a 19-week period. Warner observes the delicate intricacies of nature with a sense of wonder and humor, reflecting on the growth and change he witnesses. The second part is a poignant essay dedicated to his beloved cat, Calvin, reflecting on their shared companionship and the deep bond they formed. The book is a testament to the joys of simple pleasures, the beauty of nature, and the enduring power of love and connection.
