5.0 out of 5 stars
The best book on wildflower folklore in or out of print, December 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Hedgemaids & Fairy Candles: The Lives and Lore of North American Wildflowers (Paperback)
An indefatigable researcher, wildflower lover and newspaper editor Jack Sanders has compiled an extraordinary collection of information about North American wildflowers. Learn here about the naming of plants, their medicinal uses, and what the great naturalists of the past said about them. The book is gorgeous and the text is alive with Sanders's wit and wisdom. I recommend the book most enthusiastically to floraphiles, botanists, and naturalists.

The world in a wildflower..., June 12, 2000
This review is from: Hedgemaids & Fairy Candles: The Lives and Lore of North American Wildflowers (Paperback)
Emerson knew... Audubon knew... Steichen knew... Jack Sanders knows... an exhaustive yet never exhausting catalogue of the world beneath our feet... that which we ignore... yet which means so much... Jack Sanders... Carl Sandburg... a poet of nature... The Big Eye appreciates the ones who notice...
