Benishia No Shiki No Shi Neko No Shippo Kaeru No Te

[Machine Translation] Venetia was born in 1950 in Kedleston, a town known for its aristocratic homes in England. After many twists and turns, she now lives in a 100-year-old house in Ohara, Kyoto, where she has created a garden of herbs. She started a handmade lifestyle using herbs, which led her to meet people in Kyoto and other parts of Japan who do beautiful handmade work. This book is a collection of Venetia's 25 essays, which were featured in the NHK program "Neko no Shippo Frog Hand". This is the second DVD book following "Venetia's Treasure Box of Words". Venetia's essays, written in simple language, have been well received for their easy listening and pleasant sound.
