''Read THE WALLED ORCHARD so you can tell your descendants, ''I was there when the historical novel started holding its head up with the rest of literature''.'' - WASHINGTON POST

''This book is a hilarious yet well-researached historical novel.'' - HISTORICAL NOVEL REVIEW

The hero is Eupolis, weary, cynical and believing only in comedy. The heroine is Athens, at the height of her schizophrenic glory. A startling mixture of comedy and tragedy, THE WALLED ORCHARD is the poignant, charming story of their turbulent relationship.

With unforgettable characters and a powerful and moving story, THE WALLED ORCHARD is a wonderful evocation of life in Ancient Greece in the fifth century BC.
