About this ebook
A children's story by Mary Louisa Boyle about the ability of woodland trees and flowers to talk amongst themselves, loosely based on Edler Herr von und zu (What the wood whispers to itself) by the German writer Gustav Heinrich Gans Putlitz. Contemporary reviews point to the similarities between Woodland gossip and Tennyson's Oak, and in fact, Boyle knew Tennyson, whose son Hallam married her niece Audrey. One of Tennyson's most poignant poems of his old age is addressed "To Mary Boyle."
