Welcome to Molly Peacock's Web site

"A life's work is always unfinished and requires creativity till the day a person dies." (The Paper Garden)

Read, hear, and see much more about The Paper Garden on its Web site (www.peacockpapergarden.com). Click on the link at the top, the book cover above, or here.

The Paper Garden was chosen by Maclean’s magazine in Canada as one of the top 20 books of 2010, and it reached number one on Maclean’s nonfiction best-seller list on December 16, 2010 (scroll down to December 16)

NOTE: Due to the current high interest in Mrs. Delany, the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum has taken the decision to limit most visitors wishing to see her works to one box per visit (usually about 20 works). This is because they are extremely fragile, and are beginning to be damaged by visitors not lifting each work clear of the one underneath and scoring the surface with the mount corners. Please note that two examples of her work are always on display in the Enlightenment Gallery (Room 1; in the wall cases near case 1). Researchers working on a project who need to see more than one box should contact the student room in advance of their visit by emailing the British Museum's Department of Prints and Drawings.
