  abstract: "The plants and landscape at Rowan Oak are the "little postage stamp of soil" that William Faulkner owned, walked, and tended for over thirty years during the writing of many of his short stories and novels. Faulkner saw and smelled the earth and listened to sounds from the cultivated grounds and the surrounding woods. This is the place that offered him refuge for writing and provided him food from its garden, fruit and nut trees, and pasture for his horses and a milk cow. The land of Rowan Oak is a diverse landscape with an aristocratic cedar-lined drive and walk as well as hardy ornamental shrubs, trees, pastures, and a hardwood forest with virgin timber. More than fifty years after Faulkner's death, Rowan Oak remains a sanctuary and a place of mystery and beauty. The photographs in The Land of Rowan Oak are taken through the eye of a botanist exploring and documenting the presence and changes in the plants and landscape during the span of more than a decade. The intention of the book is to honor the land Faulkner loved. While his novels have left an indelible legacy in southern and American letters, the landscape of his beloved home also serves as a record of the botanical history of this remarkable and storied corner of the South."--
