right plant for each room. Indoor plants have never been so
important as we realise the power of their presence in making us
feel calmer and more connected to nature. But dying plants around
the house are negatives you could do without! This unique guide
from an indoor plant expert explains what plants you should keep in
each room, and whereabouts. It contains: Easy-to-understand but
horticulturally accurate information on what affects plants in each
room – light, humidity and temperature. What typically makes each
room different, which plants best suit which room, and how to care
for them so that you and the plant are happy. Working with
individual microclimates within that room – for example, a plant
that might work on a coffee table in the middle of a room might not
work on a bookshelf next to a window. Invaluable information on how
to arrange the plants to make stunning arrangements for your home
interior. The first half of the book focuses on the five key rooms
in any home, with ideas for the reader who wants to green up
specific rooms, while the second half is a comprehensive directory
of house plants. Each entry has information on light level
requirements and tolerance, detailed information on care and colour
inspiration for styling the plant. Each plant is also rated by
difficulty. This is the most practical guide to building an indoor
garden, room by room, to ensure happy plants, a happy home and
happy humans.Â
The classic poem, Goblin Market (1862) by Christina Rossetti, tells
the story of Lizzie and Laura, who are tempted by the fruit sold by
the goblin merchants. In this fully illustrated and beautiful
volume, illustrator Georgie McAusland brings the words and story to
life.Breathing new life into the Victorian tradition of illustrated
poems, this book reads like a picture story book. The stunning
illustrations illuminate and drive the narrative forward as in all
good story books. It tells the tale of the two sisters drifting
apart as Laura succumbs to the forbidden fruit sold by the goblins,
but the bonds of sisterhood prove strong. The poem has fascinated
for generations and been the subject of various interpretations.
This illustrated version brings the words and story alive for a new
generation.Christina Rossetti is considered the foremost female
poet of her time, and her poetry still resonates with women's lives
today, as she entwines themes of sexuality, sisterhood, love and
temptation in her work. All of these themes are encapsulated in
Goblin Market. The book includes an introduction to the poem by
novelist Kirsty Gunn, so all readers - for pleasure or study - can
understand its riches.
