Shakespeare's Flowers

If you love gardening and flowers and if you enjoy the beautiful prose of Shakespeare, then you'll love this little book! The colorful botanical illustrations are exquisite. Three seperate indexes help you weave plants names with their romantic meanings and find phrases and quotations referring to these plants throughout Shakepeare's plays and sonnets. It made the perfect gift to my 22 year old daughter after a poignant performance of Ophelia in Hamlet. She loved it.

This book has been a great reference for me of all the flowers referred to in Shakespeare's writings. My daughter Rosemary, is playing the lead in "Much Ado About Nothing," her school play this Spring. I wanted to have the flowers available to give the students and teachers involved and now I have the Best ideas. Thank you so much for advertising this book of colors and scents for the imagination!
