5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to read., January 27, 1999
By A Customer
This is a fun book to read if you like symbolism, and even if you don't, it's fun to read the poems in the back. In this, almost every flower, clover and herb has a meaning and just about any flower you can you'll find in here. The illustrations are sweet, and this is a great reference if you're looking for something sentimental to give a friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, January 28, 2009
This book has just the right size to be perfect. It is advertised as being a reproduction of the original pocket sized books that the Regency and Victorian women carried in their purses, and it succeeds. If you are a fan of such things, this is a great book. It is small as lightweight, so you can carry it wherever you go. The only thing that I can say, it I wish it came in a more believable cover. What it has is glossy soft cover, so it cannot be passed as an original.

4.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Flower Reference , January 2, 2005
This review is from: Language of Flowers (Hardcover)
Greenaway was famous for her fanciful, humorous, delicately colored drawings of child life. This little book was originally written in 1885, and it lists over 200 plants and their meaning in alphabetical order with 85 illustrations as well as some poems in the back of the book.

The only problem I have with this book is that the printing is very small.
