The Garlands of the Godsis an attempt to restore the fullness of this 'Sicilian experience' to today's travelers, providing them with historical, botanical and mythological information about Sicily's spectacular wild flowers. The illustrations are the work of the American botanical artist, Susan Pettee, who lives in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Susan studied botanical painting with Anne-Marie Evans at the English Gardening School in London and received a Certificate in Botanical Painting from the Society of Botanical Artists in England in 2007. An edition in Italian is scheduled for 2020. Susan’s paintings, with excerpts from Mary’s texts, were shown at the Palermo Botanical Garden in the winter of 2018-19. And are being purchased by the Garden to become part of its permanent collection. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5ea6dc19d97dcb1d65e00432/1587994106260/garlands-italiano_2.png News https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/travels-with-a-medieval-queen daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e4f0da6f753840706676/1587143946513/travels2.png Travels with a Medieval Queen Weidenfeld & Nicolson UK 2002 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e51974d9fe30baab5ac4/1587143978554/Travelscover3.png Travels with a Medieval Queen Phoenix UK 2003 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e4d5eed185440df89c23/1587143952050/Travels-US.png Travels with a Medieval Queen Farrar Straus Giroux USA 2001 https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/pomp-and-sustenance daily 0.75 2020-04-27 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e2c1e8159259e2150451/1587143424062/pomp_quadrato.png Pomp and Sustenance Echo Point USA 2019 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e2e09bd36660267b7287/1587143408530/sicilian-food.png Pomp and Sustenance Grub Street UK 1995 https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/bitter-almonds daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e3e656db7166a34926ee/1587143660435/Bitter-Almondsebook.png Bitter Almonds Open Road (ebook) 2017 https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/books-in-english daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e6eda9d15b419de674ea/1587144450724/Bitter-Almondsebook.png Books in English https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e76df2fb0f618fdc43d4/1587146890632/Sic.Sumcover.png Books in English https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e67f3768f06e78af51f3/1587144380826/pomp_quadrato.png Books in English https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e60ba9d15b419de644ed/1587146814856/OnPersephonesIsland_quadrato.png Books in English https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e6cc8d525868af3c1742/1587144412028/sicilianfood.png Books in English https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e71cf2fb0f618fdc2d7b/1587144521615/travel1.png Books in English https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/on-persephones-island daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e1ed11e67507d01b1538/1587143163433/OnPersephonesIsland_quadrato.png On Persephone's Island Eland, 2017 UK https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e1c8aab6061af510ebf9/1587143137594/OnPersephonesIsland_quadrato_2.png On Persephone's Island Vintage USA 1995 https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/sicilian-summer daily 0.75 2020-04-27 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99e56d3e741556ce9feac9/1587144059203/Sic.Sumcover.png Sicilian Summer 2017 https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/books-in-italian daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99f507a574ca15a5d5edd6/1587148055283/DF---MandAmare-cop3.png Books in Italian https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99f582d32d9138e4e793b2/1587148214970/fumo-e-arrosto.png Books in Italian https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99f536f3241f1971a47461/1587148117939/gattopardo.png Books in Italian https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99f600a13cc24223281c38/1587148301179/Saridducover.png Books in Italian https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/mandorle-amare daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99f24f176e7521e4b2ea8a/1587147397536/DF---MandAmare-cop3.png Mandorle Amare Dario Flaccovio Editore 2017 https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/tavola-gattopardo daily 0.75 2020-04-27 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99f2f73f84532f8c0dcab3/1587993918399/gattopardo.png La Tavola del Gattopardo futur@ntica 2001 https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/la-tavola-del-gattopardo daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99f35146bebd36c5885232/1587147542705/gattopardo.png La Tavola del Gattopardo (Copy) futur@ntica 2001 https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/fumo-e-arrosto daily 0.75 2020-07-15 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99f3e87797eb1cecd01357/1587147783891/fumo-e-arrosto.png Fumo e arrosto Flaccovio Editore 2008 https://www.marytaylorsimeti.com/sariddu daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59746044c534a5ea5dd3eb55/t/5e99f4a294f29d50c93dfb29/1587148288696/Saridducover.png Sariddu Armando Editore 1975
