Description

Illustrator Angie Lewin and author Christopher Stocks celebrate wild flowers and their place in the landscape with The Book of Wild Flowers.

Christopher Stocks reveals the interesting and unusual history and science of wildflowers, including guidance on where they can be found and tips for identification. The book will focus on twenty-one of Lewin's favorite wildflowers, and include reproductions of her paintings and illustrations, many created specifically for the book.

Sustaining the long-held affection for the British countryside, The Book of Wild Flowers will appeal to anyone who loves British wildflowers, as well as fans of Lewin, who is widely admired for her alluring images of the natural world.

Critical Reviews

Charming... Lewin's lovely, stylized illustrations of the plants, in muted colors, include watercolors, linocuts, wood engravings, and screenprints... Stocks's beautifully descriptive vignettes of the plants include their common and scientific names (and their meanings), along with a detailed botanical description, preferred habitat, distribution, and facts and folklore about the plant. He also writes about the wildlife and insects associated with the plants and their related species... This cheerful, whimsical, eminently browsable book will appeal to nature lovers, gardeners, artists, and readers who enjoy botanical art meshed with engaging narration.-- "Library Journal" (7/1/2024 12:00:00 AM)
