Publisher's Synopsis

From mirroring the true reality of God in Sufi Persia to the enjoyment of fictitious identities in Rome or present-day Granada, the ways of imagination in gardens are infinitely varied. This book explores how gardens are imagined, and also how they are used to trigger the imagination by cultures around the world.
