Nature, Gardens & Animals
Proserpina, Volume 2
John Ruskin
126 pages~2 hr 31 min read13 chapters$1.99
Ruskin returns to his wayside flowers with the same restless love of detail. This second volume continues his personal botany, gathering studies shaped by memories of the Alps and the countryside of Scotland and England his father knew. Part science, part memoir, wholly its own. Linger over plants described by a writer who refused to see them as anyone else did.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
