Snuggle up with your favorite book! This is a pillow version of "The Secret Garden", by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It's plush, soft, and the perfect addition to your book nook chair. Measuring approximately 8.5 inches across, 11 tall, and 4 wide, this book pillow is soft and squishy, but will still keep it shape while sitting up right. Open the fabric cover to find the first page of "The Secret Garden" printed and readable! The inside cover also features a quote from the book, which reads

“Sometimes since I've been in the garden I've looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden - in all the places.”

When closed, the edges of the book's 'pages' cushion have text from the first chapter of the book printed in old, faded text. From a distance, this appears to be closed pages.

The fabric cover is a beautiful pastel purple with green ivy leaves crawling up the yellow and gold frame. The front cover features the title, authors name, and a cameo of Mary holding the key to the Secret Garden. The back has this quote from the book:

“She held back the swinging curtain of ivy and pushed back the door which opened slowly--slowly. Then she slipped through it, and shut it behind her, and stood with her back against it, looking about her and breathing quite fast with excitement, and wonder, and delight. She was standing inside the secret garden.”

Made from cotton fabric and foam stuffing, this book pillow is sturdy, yet soft. It is almost entirely hand sewn as well. Hours of detail have gone into this book to create a recognizable yet unique version of "The Secret Garden". This is the perfect gift for your favorite teacher, bibliophile, or even for a child just learning to read. This would also make a great ring bearer pillow for a literary themed wedding!

We recommend not putting the book into a washing machine, but rather using a damp cloth to remove any stains. If the book becomes wrinkled, a simple press of the iron will straighten it right out. The book will be ironed before shipping, but keep in mind it may become slightly wrinkled during shipping and might need a quick press when it arrives.

We love custom designs so don't hesitate to ask!

***Please note, as per the title, description, and photos, this is not an actual book with pages, but a PILLOW book, instead of pages, it is a cushion. The front cover opens to the first page printed on fabric only***
