The Herbarium: Small Wood Flora

By Emilie Vast
Both a botanical treatise and a book with stunning images, Emilie Vast's new herbarium shows the plant with details of their leave, fruit and seed. The thin and delicate line of the author perfectly describes the wood anemone, campanula, wild strawberry and other bluebell. Mythology, history and use of these plants are also mentioned in this poetical yet practical object. Sequel to a first title on broad-leaved trees that was granted a non-fiction mention at 2010 Bologna Ragazzi Awards.
