Fascinatinly different

Let's face it: usually and typically Garden books are a Find for Gardeners only. But this one? Different species altogether! I found the book by mere chance in our College bookstore and was immediately smitten. Everything fits in this book: an eyecatching cover, fabulous layout, quirky story and really interesting botanical information. I found some "Lords & Ladies" in my own backyard and let me tell you, after reading the book I will stay away from them and definitely never tell any visiting children about them, either. Great coffee table book with a twist for not just plant lovers and a wonderfully macabre garden story that is just plain neat.

Clever concept, beautiful art

How refreshing to find an illustrated book that's not necessarily a children's book. While macabre at it's core, it's a fun and lighthearted read akin to Edward Gorey and Tim Burton. If you enjoy fantasy or mystery novels, gothic fare, etc... don't miss the opportunity to read this little gem.
