By Joseph Lockett

Book Overview

Floral Fancies: Affectionately Dedicated To His Children is a book written by Joseph Lockett in 1855. The book is a collection of poems and stories about flowers, plants, and gardens. The author, who was a gardener and florist, wrote the book as a gift to his children, and it is filled with his love for nature and his knowledge of botany. The book is divided into several sections, each dedicated to a different flower or plant, and includes descriptions of their characteristics, uses, and symbolism. The poems and stories are written in a lyrical and sentimental style, and are accompanied by beautiful illustrations of the flowers and plants. The book is a charming and nostalgic look at the Victorian era's fascination with nature and the beauty of the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
