This story “looks” like this, and not in any other way.” (Which is of course objectionable, but also very valid; and, frankly speaking, I must say that I love the illustrations as much as the tale itself –and I do love it a lot–. So here lays the secret, as in every creative endeavour…) Secret Garden Scarf, Garden scarf, English garden scarf, gift for garden lover, gardener scarf, Inga Moore scarf, silk scarf with gardens

Born in Sussex but brought up in Australia from the age of eight, Moore feels a powerful attachment to the English countryside. Her school in ­Adelaide had an impressive library where all the children's books (mostly British) were uniformly leather bound. At 14 her favourite was Boswell's account of Dr Johnson's travels in the Hebrides. These are so delicate Lixie, thanks for sharing them with us. It fascinates me that she doesn’t have a web presence, though it fits with her old world charm. I believe there is room for the beautiful older illustrations (have you ever encountered JRR Tolkien’s “Father Christmas Letters?), but I also delight in diverse interpretations. I have a collection of about a dozen Alice in Wonderland’s. After The Wind in the Willows it made sense to use the same location for another classic – Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 novel The Secret Garden. I was spellbound by this book as a child, and always lingered over Charles Robinson's colour plates. Looking at that old book now I'm astonished to see that it had only nine illustrations. Moore has provided more than 100.

She is somewhat –or, in fact, very– reclusive, and as far as I know she does not have an official web presence. Of course others have posted her work, but not at all as much and as thoroughly as it deserves, with high resolution scans of the illustrations.
