The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, this edition was Published by Page Publications in 2025
As for the one of a kind paintings themselves, Mandy Howard begins with clamping the book between two pieces of wood, followed by painting a garden scene with the friendly robin from the story.
Using watercolor paints and spraying each painting with matte varnish, the completed artwork is protected from dust. Due to the pressure from the clamps, the paint does not seep past the edge of the page.
While the pages can still be turned, this is recommended to be purchased as a decorative addition to your personal library, rather than to be read. This is due to the fact that the oils on our hands can damage the painting over time.
