About This Book

A whimsical almanac frames the year as a gardening manual for romantic feeling, assigning each month a zodiac emblem, a short playful poem, an illustrated vignette, and a mock forecast that treats courtship like weather and seasons. Through satirical advice, seasonal metaphors, and gentle warnings about frost, storms, and warm spells, it guides readers through the ebb and flow of sentiment with light humor and visual jokes, pairing pastoral imagery with tongue-in-cheek practicalities for cultivating and tending to affection.
