Over the next decade, Mrs. Delany produced an astonishing 985 botanically correct, breathtaking cut-paper flowers, now housed in the British Museum and referred to as the \u003ci\u003eFlora Delanica\u003c\/i\u003e. As she tracks the extraordinary life of Delany-friend of George Frideric Handel and Jonathan Swift-internationally acclaimed poet Molly Peacock weaves in delicate parallels in her own life and, in doing so, creates a profound and beautiful examination of the nature of creativity and art. This gorgeously designed book, featuring thirty-five full-color illustrations, is to be devoured as voraciously as one of the court dinners it describes.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Paper Garden: An Artist Begins Her Life's Work at 72 | Molly Peacock | Paperback | 9781608196975 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1788101","offer_id":67796506738840,"sku":"1788101","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71B7Oa5zPxL.jpg?v=1792793592","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/paper-garden-an-artist-begins-her-lifes-work-at-72","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
