When Julie crawls into a mysterious garden, she meets an old man tending the flowers. The gentle gardener turns out to be the great artist Claude Monet and together they explore his magical world. Monet and Julie wander across the Japanese bridge, around the house and studios and they float through water gardens where lilies sparkle as bright as stars..

Complete with reproductions of Monet's work and a fold-out panorama of his water lily pond, this is another inspirational story from Laurence Anholt's best-selling series, celebrating some of the world's greatest artists and the real children who knew them.
