The Lost Garden
A signed first Canadian edition of The Lost Garden by Helen Humphreys, published by HarperFlamingoCanada as A Phyllis Bruce Book in 2002. This hardcover copy includes its illustrated dust jacket and is signed by Humphreys in blue ink on the title page. The copyright-page number line indicates a second printing.
Set in England during the spring of 1941, the novel follows horticulturist Gwen Davis as she leaves Blitz-stricken London for a neglected Devon estate, where she supervises young members of the Women's Land Army growing food for the war effort. Her encounters with the spirited Jane, Canadian officer Captain Raley, and a long-abandoned garden shape a lyrical story of love, loss, memory, and renewal. The novel was selected for CBC's 2003 Canada Reads program.
Very Good overall, with light edge and corner wear and small scuffs or abrasions visible on the dust jacket, particularly near the spine edge. A previous-owner gift inscription dated Christmas 2002 appears on an endpaper, along with an additional small handwritten name or notation; these markings are separate from the author's title-page signature. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
