The plant-lore & garden-craft of Shakespeare
Henry Nicholson Ellacombe
Shakespeare filled his plays with flowers, and Henry Ellacombe hunts down every one. From aconite and almond to acorn and oak, he gathers the plant-lore and garden-craft of the plays with a botanist's care and a scholar's love. Learned, charming, and richly detailed. A delightful marriage of gardening and literature. Walk Shakespeare's imagined gardens and learn the meaning of every bloom he named.
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.
