520    A very readable and graceful volume. -- Saturday Review 
       "Entitled from its worth to a place in every Shakespearian
       library." -- Spectator. "As accurate as it is delightful."
       -- Gardener's Chronicle. "Deserves a place on the shelves 
       of both the student of Shakespeare and the lover of plant 
       lore." -- Journal of Botany "The fullest and best book on 
       the subject." -- The Literary World From Ophelia's pansies
       and Lear's crown of weeds to Desdemona's song of the 
       willow and the many botanical references in A Midsummer 
       Night's Dream, the plays and sonnets of William 
       Shakespeare abound in allusions to trees, flowers, herbs, 
       and shrubs. This unique book explores a charming 
       intersection of nature and literature, examining every 
       plant mentioned by the playwright. An alphabetical 
       glossary cites each plant, placing the quotation in 
       context and discussing its symbolism. A synopsis of the 
       plant's history is followed by practical advice for its 
       cultivation. Dozens of engravings of plants appear 
       throughout the book, in addition to full-page 
       illustrations of Shakespeare's garden and other Avon 
       sites. Shakespeare enthusiasts, historians, plant lovers, 
       and gardeners will appreciate this comprehensive botanical
       survey and identification guide.
