This is one of the most comprehensive works I've edited- a near 200 page compilation of lore all related to the botanical, paired frequently with poetry and Shakespearean verse, with more than a few references to civics (at the time the idea of a national flower was apparently hotly debated- it does mention my own state, Vermont, choosing the red clover as state flower- which it still is!)
The number of references within mythology are impressive- especially Greek mythology and some of the Christian iconography of yesteryear- including of course perhaps the most famous with Saint Patrick and the four leafed clover. As an interesting aside there's one little patch of white clover here on my property that spawns four leafed clutches at about a hundred times the normal rate (must be a mutant) and once I found one with seven in there. Altogether, this is a fine work, and right down my alley as a botanical enthusiast and lover of spiritual folklore.
190 pages.
Dear Tarl, I am an artist and illustrator and would like to do an illustrated version of the flower book,( which I just bought) and maybe some of the other books too. I have illustrated two books which are in print and for sale on amazon. This is my portfolio site. https://anntendlerfineart.blogspot.com/, where you can see my work and books, please check it out. - Maybe we could collaborate? or could I use some of the content that is open source, to do my own book? But I wanted to run it by you first. I'm thinking it would be geared for children. I have a classical style of illustration, and I want to create classic books. I love this flower book and they are a favorite subject of mine. My contact info is on my " about me" page of my blog. I hope to hear from you. Best Regards, Ann. P.S. I listen to your youtube channel also. Good work on all fronts!
