Britain's Rare Flowers (A Volume in the Poyser Natural History Series)

Editorial Reviews
PLANT TALK, October 1999
"'Blooming marvelous' was how one reviewer greeted Peter Marren's latest book, Britain's Rare Flowers. It is a popular and readable account, with characteristically elegant and witty writing on the fact, anecdote and folklore of some of Britain's rarest plants. Perhaps most interesting it tells the story of the people behind the plants, whether discoverers, collectors or plant savers, and includes many of the best tales of British field botany. Good writing about plant conservation is rare: here is a model of how to take field botany and plant rescue to a wider audience."

ENGLISH NATURE MAGAZINE, September 1999
"Marren's richly informative narrative flows smoothly, combining hard fact with entertaining anecdotal detail - a mix that reflects his thoroughness of research and depth of subject knowledge. The book is an intriguing read as a celebration of around 500 flower and fern species."
