    About this ebook

    'My Summer in a Garden' is a classic piece of American garden literature that set the tone for nature writing. Its author, Warner, was a witty newspaper editor and amateur gardener who, along with his pal Mark Twain, had a laugh-out-loud sense of humor. In his monthly musings, Warner takes you on a tour of his garden as he battles pests and weeds with the help of his trusty companion, Calvin the cat.
