The Book of Flowers

The Book of Flowers

Editorial Reviews
Los Angeles Times, 4/1/99
[A] visual tour de force, handsomely designed and illustrated.

House & Garden, December 1998
The Book of Flowers is an engaging history of our romance with all things botanical. Catherine Donzel contemplates the rarity of bouquets in medieval households (few homes contained the tables to display them) and how the language of flowers has become "nothing more than a pleasant delusion," thanks to the incompetence of many translators of floral grammars.
