Trying to understand the wonders and mysteries of the natural world
has been a human preoccupation since the earliest times. Myriad
myths and legends have subsequently evolved to explain the
existence and power of our fertile planet. At the same time, the
knowledge of which plants to use as essential foods, remedies, and
for construction was of obvious importance, not only to learn but
also to pass on and remember. It is therefore hardly surprising
that from all corners of the globe a wealth of stories, myths and
legends about plants has been passed down to us, gathered together
in this fascinating volume. Here you will discover sound principles
in some of the traditional advice, and wisdom in many of the
observations of the plant world. However there are also highly
fanciful superstitions, intriguing tales and amusing anecdotes,
which any plant lover will truly relish. Discover which trees are
believed to have healing powers? How, in legend, the white rose
turn red? Why the lily is a symbol of purity? Any why is it
considered unlucky to bring some flowers indoors?
