Part of the highly-successful Anholts Artists series about great painters, which tells the stories of real meetings between world-famous artists and the children who knew them. When Julies dog disappears into a mysterious garden, Julie follows him - and finds herself in a beautiful garden-within-a-garden where the roses grow like splashes of paint and a Japanese bridge bows over a silent pool. There she finds not only her dog, but also Claude Monet. The famous artist introduces her to his work and his garden, giving her encouragement that the young would-be artist will never forget. Set against the romantic, world-famous backdrop of Monets garden at Giverny, the story is accompanied by reproductions of the artists most celebrated paintings and a biographical note on Monet.
