Myths and Legends of Flowers, Trees, Fruits, and Plants

Bag om Myths and Legends of Flowers, Trees, Fruits, and Plants

"Myths and Legends of Flowers, Trees, Fruits, and Plants" is one of the most valuable botanical folkloric works ever penned. It contains a wealth of information on species considered of legendary import in antiquity (especially in Egypt and Rome) as well as within Arthurian legend and the then-modern folklore of Europe and the Americas.From the tale of Saint Patrick converting Ireland by using the shamrock to illustrate the trinity, to tragic tales of unrequited love, this book contains a dense compilation of botanical lore and is as much worth reading for its treatment of fun and fiction as of spiritual or medicinal literature.
