Now translated into English, over 200 years since they were first published, Delachenaye's Abecedaire de Flore and Chambet's Embleme des Fleurs were two of the earliest floral dictionaries of the 19th century, paving the way for the Victorian passion for the Language of Flowers.
As well as offering meanings for over 250 flowers, both authors delight in telling their readers about the associated myths, legends and customs in addition to the plants' history and cultivation, The translations are enhanced by Rachel Henry's introduction and well-researched notes, as well as sixty beautiful colour illustrations.

A must-buy for anyone interested in the Language of Flowers, this is the second book in the series, following on from The Language of Flowers 1550-1680.

Rachel Henry trained as a journalist in London. Her interest in the language of flowers began when she bought a rare Victorian floral dictionary in a little antique shop in Cornwall. Since then she has researched the subject extensively.
