This thick tome tells about a type of gnome, who is living alone in a garden, tending to the plants. She learned how to talk to the flowers, and from them, she heard a lot of naughty stories from around the world. She shares these stories with the reader, always featuring herself as a recurring character. Passed along are her own, not very profound, meditations about the meaning of these stories. We also learn how she likes watching clouds, laying on fresh grass and bathing in ponds, and how a thunderstorm gives her chills.
