In Forgotten Fruits, Christopher Stocks tells the fascinating -
often rather bizarre - stories behind Britain's rich heritage of
fruit and vegetables. Take Newton Wonder apples, for instance,
first discovered around 1870 allegedly growing in the thatch of a
Derbyshire pub. Or the humble gooseberry which, among other things,
helped Charles Darwin to arrive at his theory of evolution. Not to
mention the ubiquitous tomato, introduced to Britain from South
America in the sixteenth century but regarded as highly poisonous
for hearly 200 years. This is a wonderful piece of social and
natural history that will appeal to every gardener and food
aficionado.
