The Poppy & Other Deadly Plants by Esther Baskin.
‘The plants discussed in these pages are not like the wily poison ivy, which only causes nasty itching, but rather those which really kill people. And kill them with a fury.’
A book describing the appearance and properties of poisonous plants such as Monkshood, Mad Apple, Darnel, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Deadly Nightshade, Henbane and Hemlock, as well as detailing their folkloric, mythic and literary uses and associations.
With beautiful drawings by her then partner Leonard Baskin.
Very good condition. Small white sticker on spine.
