Down in the Garden

Babies as beatific butterflies. Babies as snoozing hedgehogs. Babies as tiny fairies dwelling in a magical garden. It's been ten amazing years since Anne Geddes brought these unmistakable inhabitants to life in DOWN IN THE GARDEN, her extraordinary ode to tiny babies and the enchantment they bring. DOWN IN THE GARDEN became an international bestseller and was the perfect showcase for this now world-famous photographer's artistic vision. The book captures newborns in a variety of mythical poses: brightly coloured flowers with babies peeking out from behind them, sleeping babies snuggled inside bright green peapods, sprightly gnomes with darling baby faces. All come together to make Geddes' DOWN IN THE GARDEN an artistic masterpiece unlike any other. This special 10th anniversary edition features all the striking images from the full-size volume in a more intimate package. Complemented by gently humorous text, the images reflect Geddes' appreciation for the beauty and innocence of babies. Her masterful imagery immediately communicates her deep and abiding love of children in a universal language understood by people everywhere.
