Book Description
Excerpt from Marm Lisa As a matter Of fact, the trees had always been stunted and stubby, the plants had never been tended, and all the paint had been worn off the benches by successive groups Of working-men out Of work. As for the wire fence, it had been much used as a means of ingress and egress by the children Of the neighbourhood, who pre ferred it to any Of the gateways, which they considered hopelessly unimaginative and commonplace, Offering no resistance to the budding man Of valour or woman Of ambition. Eden Place was frequented mostly by the children, who found it an admirable spot to squabble, to fight, and to dig up the hapless earth; and after them, by persons out Of suits with fortune. These (generally men) adorned the shabby benches at all times, Sleeping, smoking. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Eden Place was a short street running at right angles with Eden Square, a most unattractive and infertile triangle of ground in a most unattractive but respectable quarter of a large city. It was called a square, not so much, probably, because it was triangular in shape, as because it was hardly large enough to be designated as a park. As to its being called 'Eden, ' the origin of that qualifying word is enveloped in mystery; but it is likely that the enthusiastic persons who projected it saw visions and dreamed dreams of green benches under umbrageous trees, of a green wire fence, ever green, and of plots of blossoming flowers filling the grateful air with unaccustomed fragrance.
