"In Brown's utopian vision, the urban and the pastoral mingle to joyfully harmonious effect--especially on the final pages, which show a city filled with rooftop gardens, fantastic topiaries, windmills and sparkling ponds."

"As all good, enduring stories are, THE CURIOUS GARDEN is a rich palimpsest....a whimsical tale celebrating perseverance and creativity, and a rousing paean, encouraging every small person and every big person that they too can nurture their own patch of earth into their very own vision of Eden."
