From the collection of Betty Anderson, legendary art director of publisher Knopf in the late 20th century as evidenced by her (small and unobtrusive) inventory number; Fata Morgana is a novel about a young girl named Alice who is sent to live with her grandparents in the country after her mother's death. Alice is not content with her new life and finds comfort in exploring the woods near her grandparents' house. One day, she discovers a hidden path that leads to a hidden garden. In the garden, Alice meets a mysterious man named Sir John who tells her about the fata morgana, a mirage that can be seen in the ocean. Sir John teaches Alice how to use her imagination to see the fata morgana and she begins to see them everywhere she goes.; 8vo; FSA .
