Overview

""Master Simon's Garden"" is a sweeping historical narrative that follows the legacy of a beautiful garden and the family that tends it through the formative years of American history. Set in the stern Puritan settlement of Hopewell, the story begins with Master Simon Radpath, a man whose love for colorful flowers and open-hearted kindness stands in stark contrast to the rigid, somber environment of his neighbors. As the garden blooms, it becomes a symbol of tolerance and hope in a wilderness often defined by strict laws and suspicion. The novel spans several generations, tracing the lives of Simon's descendants as they navigate the shifting landscape of the New World. From the early struggles of the colonial era to the stirring beginnings of the American Revolution, the garden remains a constant thread, witnessing the birth of a new nation. Cornelia Meigs masterfully weaves themes of perseverance, family heritage, and the enduring power of beauty into a compelling tale of historical adventure. Through the eyes of the Radpath family, readers experience the trials of the frontier, the tensions of early social conflicts, and the eventual quest for independence.
