Description

Two ever-popular topics, Shakespeare and gardening, intersect in this unique volume. An alphabetical glossary cites every plant mentioned by the playwright, places the quote in context, and discusses the plant's symbolism. The charmingly illustrated text also offers a synopsis of each plant's history and practical advice for cultivation. "As accurate as it is delightful." - Gardner's Chronicle.

Author description

Botanist and gardener Henry Nicholson Ellacombe (1822 - 1916) was vicar of the Gloucestershire parish of Bitton. He grew a tremendous variety of plants in his deanery garden and exchanged seeds with Kew and botanical gardens throughout Europe. Ellacombe's other books include Shakespeare as an Angler and In My Vicarage Garden, and Elsewhere.
