Publisher's Synopsis
Even at the age of 5, Elizabeth Blair Barber displayed the intuitive detachment of the artist. Upon learning of the impending upheaval of her family's moving from Perth to England, she responded by burying her precious dolls in the garden, an act that came to symbolize, for her, the need to move forward, no matter how painful and no matter what she had to leave behind. "I Buried My Dolls in the Garden" presents a biography of Elizabeth Blair Barber, together with full colour reproductions of selected works from the oeuvre of this remarkable painter, for whom recognition has come late, but certainly.
