Book Description

Italian Renaissance gardens were the admiration of Europe and North America. They revived the classical art of garden making, as well as drawing on medieval literary traditions; but they also developed their own forms and styles, even when they began to borrow back ideas of landscape gardening from England in the late eighteenth century. But until the late nineteenth century Italy was a collection of different states, each of which developed its own kind of garden, subject to climate, situation and culture. It is this diversity that is explored here, in a series of ten essays, each focusing on one locale in order to draw out its special contribution to the Italian garden.

All in one!.......2003-12-17

Wow! What a collection of old, new, and fun! It's a collection of poems, short stories, things to do, information from palm reading to word fun. This book is fun for any age of girl from mother to daughter. Remember "Oh God It's Me, Margaret." That is one of the many literary excerpts this 352 page book of girlhood has in it. Poetry? Got it. Recipes? Got it. It even has songs in it. It's worth the full price I paid. Would recommend it for any age. My daughter (8) and I look at a different page together just for the fun of it. It's like a million books in one! Great to grab for entertainment on the go like we do quite often with brothers in travel sports. I would like to see more books like this.

A great baby gift, something to treasure for years to come.........2003-08-05

I bought this book as a baby gift knowing it would make a perfect addition to the nursery (beautiful display book) as well as a fun keepsake for the child as she grows older. Every page is illustrated with vintage artwork, easy-to-read passages, games and stories. From "must-see-movies" to recipes, quotes from frida kahlo & maya angelou, to "are you a greek goddess?"... I would highly recommend this book and plan on making it my standard baby gift from now on!

My sister loved it.......2002-12-01

I thought I'd picked a winner and was right. My 11 year old sister loved it.

The book is a good one, it has advice ranging from friendship, to fashion, and even a little nutrition thrown in for good measure. All of the info is solid, thoughtful and heartfelt.

A lot of kids seem to be raising themselves these days, either through family breakups or just a lack of attention. While nothing replaces solid advice from a loved one, books on being a young woman can be quite helpful in sorting out the things children deal with growing up. This one certainly is.

Cute, fun, and helpful. This is a great gift to show you care.

Perfect gift for young ladies or a reminder for yourself...........2002-09-02

...to learn (or remember) what it is to be a girl from Hello Kitty's wonderful perpective! I am a little older than the target age group for most HK products, but I love and collect HK and was thrilled to see a nifty little book like this come out. I have given 3 copies away as gifts to my niece, sister and a family friend and am about to purchase another as a gift for another young lady because I think the information inside is so vital and perfect! It helps girls learn about who they are, rules of etiquette, and has lots of creative ideas to keep the mind sharp, all at a simple, fun & easy-to-read pace. Brilliant! (and worth every penny!) Moms & Dads, sisters & brothers, aunt & uncles, friends - whomever - should consider this item in their gift-giving pool.

Maggie's Review.......2005-05-18

In the Land of the Big Red Apple is adventurous and suspenseful. Rose and her Mama and Papa moved to Missouri and left her Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Mary, Aunt Carry, and Aunt Grace in De Smet because of a drought. Rose's best friend was Alva. Alva hated town girls. Rose's Papa had a hired hand. His name was Abe. Abe lived in a rented shack with his little brother Swiny. Abe and Swiny's mother and father had died. They met Abe when Papa caught Swiny stealing some of Mama's eggs. The next morning Abe came by to apologize. Then they harvested the last harvest. Then Mama and Rose baked and cooked for Thanksgiving. They invited the Coolys over for supper. The last thing Mama put on their plates was three kernels of corn to remind them of the Pilgrims. Then they said grace. After they ate Rose told Paul and George about a cave, but she wasn't allowed to go in it. Paul said, "They wouldn't know if we do so let's go." They went inside the cave and got really muddy. They got in big trouble when they got back. It was time to go back to school. Rose saw Blanche, her school friend. Rose's Papa came and picked Rose up from school. Papa said, "Why Rose you're lips are blue and you're shivering." When Rose got home he said, "Go sit by the fire." Soon it was Rose's birthday! Mama kept looking out the window but wouldn't let Rose. When it was time for chores her Mama wouldn't let her do her chores. When Papa came inside he said, "Go outside and have a look." There was a donkey outside with a new saddle! A little while after Rose's birthday was a terrible ice storm! It was hard getting around. You had to put cloth on your shoes. Their orchard barely made it. Abe was sparking with Effie, Alva's older sitter. Then Abe asked Effie if she would marry him. Will Effie marry Abe? I recommend this book, because it shows you what it was like when Rose was a little girl compared to now.

I love it!.......2004-01-12

In the Land of the Big Red Apple is a GREAT book! Rose begins to adjust to her new home in Missouri at Rocky Ridge Farm. She gets a new donkey named Spookendyke for her ninth birthday, a huge ice storm hits, she gets to celebrate her first real Christmas in the Ozarks, and her parents bulid a new house.

I have the whole series..........2003-05-16

I love THE LAURA INGALLS YEARS and the ROSE YEARS. In the later ROSE books, Rose is a little more fiesty and romantical...it builds up as the series goes along, so this is more for pre-teens and teens later on. Otherwise it is very wholesome and fun; Rose is interesting, and has many ideas about the world! I have all the LAURA YEARS books except THE FIRST FOUR YEARS and all the ROSE books except ON THE BANKS OF THE BAYOU (my fave) and BACHELOR GIRL (haven't read that yet).
...

I found this series to be very disappointing..........2002-12-31

I found this entire series of books to be disappointing. The writing was average but what really bothered me most is how the stories lacked the sweet innocence of the original series. On doing some research I discovered that parts of the books were based on Rose's diaries. Unfortunately, she was not a happy soul and these books suffer from her same pessimism. The listed author for this book (MacBride) died before the last few books were published. The books were still published under his name and HarperCollins claimed that he wrote the manuscript before dying yet one of the last books in this series contains several chapters (almost verbatim) from a story that Rose wrote herself for an adult audience. The story is totally out of character with the series. Rose and her friend sneak out for several nights to meet a traveling salesman. He eventually makes a pass at her...

This series is okay as light reading for adolescents but if you are looking for a piece of americana, and/or a wholesome book for your child or self this is not the best choice. It grossly fails to live up to the original series of books. The Caroline series is a better choice.

Rose is cool.......2002-09-10

The girl was quite a firecracker. Again, just as charming as Little House, but the storytelling is a bit more complex and more reflective of who Rose was. This series truly equals the charm and storytelling of Laura's story. Kudos to those who thought to bring this series to print.
