Why was mistletoe held sacred, and how did the mandrake earn its sinister reputation?
In Plant Lore, Legends, and Lyrics, Richard Folkard gathers the stories people have told about trees, flowers, and herbs. From sacred groves and protective charms to the plants that found their way into poetry, this Victorian collection reveals how the natural world became entwined with ritual, superstition, and song.
For gardeners, folklore lovers, and readers drawn to the curious corners of botanical history, this is a book to dip into whenever a familiar plant makes you wonder what stories it once held.
