How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Formatted for e-reader Illustrated About The Garden of Survival by Algernon Blackwood Twins may be similar in outward appearance and share genetic material, but the paths they take in life are often markedly divergent. That\'s certainly the case in Algernon Blackwood\'s The Garden of Survival, in which two twin brothers\' adventures take them to opposite ends of the earth – though their special bond remains intact. The Garden of Survival begins in Blackwood’s usual polished and expressive style. His protagonist, Richard, a former military man now making a living as a foreign diplomat in Africa, details in epistolary format his musings of life and love. The story is both enticing and ethereal. The description of Richard’s childhood garden is vaguely reminiscent of the biblical Garden of Eden. Algernon Henry Blackwood was an English writer of tales of the supernatural. In his late thirties, Blackwood started to write horror stories. He was very successful, writing ten books of short stories and appearing on both radio and television to tell them. He also wrote fourteen novels and a number of plays, most of which were produced but not published. He was an avid lover of nature, and many of his stories reflect this.
