Proserpina, Volume 1
John Ruskin
John Ruskin looked at wildflowers the way he looked at cathedrals: closely, passionately, and on his own terms. This first volume of his wayside botany studies plants like the Savoy Anthericum, or Saint Bruno's Lily, remembered from the Alps and the hills of Scotland and England. Idiosyncratic, beautiful, unforgettable. See flowers through the eyes of England's fiercest critic.
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.
