Synopsis :

The perfect countryside and armchair companion to the wild flowers of the British Isles.

Illustrator Angie Lewin and author Christopher Stocks follow up the success of The Book of Pebbles with The Book of Wild Flowers, a celebration of British wild flowers and their place in the landscape.

Christopher Stocks reveals the interesting and unusual history and science of wild flowers, including guidance on where they can be found and also tips for cultivation. Designed in a similar format to The Book of Pebbles, it will focus on around 15 of Lewin's favourite wild flowers, and include reproductions of her paintings and illustrations, many of them created specially for the book.

Sustaining our long-held affection for the British countryside, The Book of Wild Flowers will appeal to anyone who loves British wild flowers, as well as fans of Angie Lewin, who is widely admired for her alluring images of the natural world. It is intended to be followed by a companion volume on cultivated flowers.

À propos des auteurs: Angie Lewin studied fine art at the Central School of Art in London and has since become a highly regarded artist and printmaker. She has published three books: Angie Lewin: Plants and Places, The Book of Pebbles, and The Book of Wild Flowers: Reflections on Favorite Plants.

Christopher Stocks is an author, journalist, and trainee bell ringer. He is the author of several books, including The Book of Pebbles and The Book of Wild Flowers: Reflections on Favorite Plants.
