Publisher's Synopsis
El abuelo está en su jardìn. No, él no siempre fue jardinero. También fue un niño que se crió en una granja, tuvo varicela, dio su primer beso, fue un soldado, y sobre todo fue un artista. Pero ahora ya no recuerda muchas cosas. . . Por eso pasa las horas en su jardìn, podando los setos y arbustos. Y gracias a eso su bisnieto puede revivir el pasado del abuelo al recorrer las caprichosas formas de los árboles. Visitar el jardìn del abuelo es habitar y aproximar lugares que cualquiera pensarìa inalcanzables. Un libro tan enigmático como bello, que explora las formas de comunicación que vencen al envejecimiento y el olvido. Un libro para leer, y releer, con los hijos, los nietos y los bisnietos.
