The Bards poetry combines with beautiful photos of flowers to make a great gift book.
Shakespeare was in lovewith flowers! Anemones, yews, flowers, ferns, herbs, and their symbolism feature prominently in Shakespeares works, and this tribute to the glory of nature and the power of literature does justice to both. Gorgeous, full-page, close-up color photographs of honeysuckles, ripened by the sun, the milk-white rose, whose sweet smell the air shall be perfumd, daffodils, that come before the swallow dares, daisies pied and violets blue, and dozens of other blooms are paired with appropriate selections from the Bards greatest plays and sonnets. With a lively introduction that discusses the use flowers had in both Shakespeares writings and Elizabethan gardens, this is the perfect volume for those who want to say it with flowersand words as well.
