Coles Pan's Garden: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Pan's Garden weaves Algernon Blackwood's eerie nature mysticism with a subtle domestic unease, centering on David Bittacy, a man who feels the living personality of trees, and his wife Sophia, whose faith and fears place her at a distance from his private devotion. When the painter Sanderson arrives with his uncanny gift for revealing a tree's inner life, the household is drawn into a world where art, memory, and the forest itself seem charged with hidden meaning. A cedar painting, a scientific claim about plant consciousness, and long twilight walks in the New Forest all deepen the sense that the woods are not scenery but an ancient presence watching from beyond the garden. As Sanderson speaks of trees awakening at night, the story grows more haunting, and Sophia's unease sharpens into dread. At the same time, Henriot is pulled into a separate but resonant vision of spiritual forces, ancient civilizations, and a woman's belief in "group-souls," collective bodies through which religion and life may once have summoned real powers. The novel becomes a meditation on divided belief, buried memory, and the strange, dangerous intimacy between human consciousness and the unseen life of nature and spirit. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
