Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tales From the Old French
Fair as man can desire was that orchard, and therein grew many an herb whose name I know not; yet may I tell you of a truth there were roses and ?owers that gave forth a strong and pleasant fra grance; and such manner of spices grew there that if any creature, suffering from sickness and infirmity, were brought thi ther in a litter, and lay in that orchard but for the space of a single night, he would go forth healed and strong; so rich it was in goodly herbs. And the meadow was so level even that in it was neither hill nor hollow, and all the tree-tops were of one height; no other orchard close so fair was there in all the world. Ask ye not of its fruit, for none such shall ye find; but in the garden they ripened in every season. Wise was he who contrived it, and by enchantment he wrought it, whereof Within was many a proof.
