Grandmother’s library is almost as enchanting as her garden. There are so many wonderful books! Often, after lunch, Rica chooses a volume about a topic that interests her. By the time she closes the book, it is almost evening. Learning new things is so captivating that hours go by without Rica noticing. Many potted plants watch over the library. They inch their way along the windowsills and climb up the curtains. Every day, the plants take up more and more space. “At the rate they are growing,” Rica has observed, “the library will become another garden, or maybe even a forest!” A forest library—that is magical! 19
