The Secret Garden Art Novel™, First Edition | Bond & Grace

This is the kind of gift that gets placed, not put away. It draws the eye, invites a second look, and almost always prompts a quiet “where did you find that?” We love it for anyone who treats books as objects of beauty and believes a living space should have at least one piece worth talking about.

It blends story and art seamlessly. The familiarity of a classic, presented in a way that feels intentional and display-worthy. Set on a coffee table or shelf, it brings structure and personality to the room, making the whole space feel more considered without asking anything else to change.

 

Tastemakers, artists, and readers who appreciate their favorites presented oversized, elegant, and worthy of display.

It says, I know what you keep on your coffee table matters.

  • The oversized format makes it feel like an experience, not just a book (10" W × 13" L; approx. 6 lbs).
  • Substantial and thoughtful inside, with 260 pages, a new introduction, and over 60 insights from literary experts.
  • The artwork is central to the experience. 51 pieces from 12 diverse artists bring the story to life throughout.
  • Designed as a keepsake, with a hardcover casebound format, custom end leaves illustrated by Abby Olsen, and production completed in the USA.

We chose this for its clarity of intent. It’s a rare piece that balances meaning and presentation, blending a beloved classic with the presence of an art object. At home on a coffee table or shelf, it tends to become the most interesting thing in the room.
