Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by William Holman Hunt, Richard Wane and Mark Fisher. What plants have meant - the rowan against witches, the mandrake's scream, the funeral herbs, the flowers that must not come indoors. Thiselton-Dyer worked through the whole calendar of British plant belief. This edition is bound with a gallery of 60 plates of painting, 1780–1920, by Alfred Sisley, Edward Robert Smythe, Richard Wane and others, on spring, orchards and gardens.
