The Enchanted Garden

Henry James Forman’s 1923 novel “The Enchanted Garden” is a gripping story that takes place in Boston’s busy ports and wharves. The main character, a nineteen-year-old boy, is engaged in a covert mission. The unusual odors of spices, leather, and burlap, the sound of truck wheels grinding, and the sporadic cries of stevedores blend to create a potent dark magic that is almost otherworldly for the young boy, even though the surroundings are dismal. This book is a reproduction of a significant historical document.
