What is Discover Enchanted Woods: A Fairy-tale Garden At Winterthur (discover Winterthur) about?

<p>"Faerie folkes live in old Oakes."</p> <p>According to German folklore, the holes found in oak trees are fairy pathways. At Winterthur, three acres of the incomparable garden on Oak Hill have been developed into a veritable fairy playground — a garden especially for children. Enchanted Woods, canopied by majestic red, white, and scarlet oaks, has become a place of enchantment, mystery, and discovery.</p> <p>In Discover Enchanted Woods, the sixth volume in the museum's Discover Series, landscape curator and author Denise Magnani takes us on a journey through the garden, offering a "behind-the-scenes" look at its creation. Shaped by the imagination and given substance by sculptures, child-size structures, serpentine walks, and "found" bits and pieces of the Winterthur estate, Enchanted Woods delights the visitor with a Troll Bridge, Faerie Cottage, Bird's Nest, Frog Hollow, Tulip Tree House, Story Stones, and Fairy Flower Labyrinth.</p> <p>Magnani's in-depth involvement with both the development and interpretation of the garden serves her well in this "insider's" look at the newest Winterthur offering.</p>
