The Paper Garden – An Artist Begins Her Life’s Work at 72

In The Paper Garden, celebrated poet Molly Peacock explores the remarkable life of 18th-century British gentlewoman-turned-artist Mary Delany. In the 1770s, at the age of 72, the twice-widowed and nearly broke Delany turned her interest in botany into beautiful paper “mosaick” flowers still revered today. ©2010 Molly Peacock (P)2011 Recorded Books, LLC
