Plant Lore, Legends, and Lyrics
Richard Folkard
Every culture planted its imagination in a great tree. Folkard gathers the world-trees of the ancients, from the Norse Yggdrasil to Hindu and Iranian visions, then roams through the legends, folklore, and verse that humans have wound around flowers and herbs. A vast treasury of botanical storytelling. Wander a garden where every plant carries a tale worth telling.
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.
