    The Garden Behind the Button Shop

    Push open the green gate with Mrs. Thimble. "The Garden Behind the Button Shop" is a drowsy midday tale about a narrow button shop on Main Street, the hidden walled garden behind it, Clover the tortoise, and a parade of children with painted watering cans — told slow enough to drift off to, with moonflower buds, warm oat biscuits, and Sergeant Major the toad keeping watch over the seedlings. A full evening of rest: through the button jars and shell bowls, past the marigolds and sweet peas, along the stone path at leaf-settling pace, to moonflowers opening white at dusk and moths arriving soft over the walls — then home at evening's end, up Main Street, to your own warm bed and the garden of your dreams till morning.
