I'll take a wild stab, though I don't know of a book with this title:

The View from Castle Rock.

[pedln]

You got it, PatH. 

Winner!!  Winner!!

You may not know the title, but you do know the author, recent NObel wnner Alice Munro.  This collection,  published in 2006, is somewhat autobiographical with stories of her family as they left  Scotland and settled in North America.

[PatH]

Thank goodness!  That   __  I E  __   was driving me nuts; for a long time I couldn't think of any word that would make sense in a title and hadn't been ruled out.

New quiz.  Children's book.

A light bulb just lit up, though I never knew of such a book.

WINNER!!!!!!

I could have sworn I replied to the post, Pat H. Don't know what happened to it.

Yes, it is Emily Dickinson's Gardens...

The author has a new one coming out in November with an even longer title featuring the gardens that inspired Beatrix Potter and her children's stories. That is one I think I'd like to get.

http://www.amazon.com/Beatrix-Potters-Gardening-Life-Childrens/dp/1604693630/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1382529227&sr=1-1&keywords=Beatrix+Potter%27s+gardening+life

[Frybabe]

Wow, Bluebird! What a find.

I still have my collection from Botany class in college, but it isn't in a bound volume. I tied my collection together with an old velvet robe sash.

[PatH]

Thanks for that link, Bluebird, that's really interesting.  It's nice to think of her labeling the specimens herself.

Frybabe, I was about to go ahead anyway.  Didn't mind the break, as I've had a horrible cold.

[JoanK]

Good for you, PAT!

Not so good for me for taking so long to put up the next quiz.
