In this sequel to Moonheart, de Lint revisits Tamson House, the sprawling Ottawa edifice that is a reservoir of psychic power and a gateway to many spirit worlds, particularly those of Native American and Celtic mythology. The house is occupied by a shifting collection of artists and other social misfits seeking peace and protection from a society they find threatening. Emma Fenn, who can communicate with trees, is saved from a band of renegade faeries by Blue Farley, former biker and caretaker of Tamson, and by Esmeralda Foylan, a childhood friend and seeker of ancient truths.
Niwaki: Pruning, Training and Shaping Japanese Garden Trees
There is a lot of information out there on bonsai but I have always been more interested in the Japanese garden trees and until this book there has been very little information out there on how to care for and prune Japanese garden trees and shrubs. As far as I know the author even translated/invented the English name for them, "Niwaki" for which there previously was none.
Beginners are guided through the fundamentals of detailed observation, use of materials and elementary tips whilst more advanced artists will be inspired by sophisticated techniques, superb demonstrations and invaluable advice. Projects include poplar trees, leaves, seeds and fruits and reflections. An essential addition to any artist's library, this superb book will delight specialists and beginners alike.
