Botanical Curses and Poisons: The Shadow-Lives of Plants
Description :
Discover the folklore and history of our most toxic plants through
this beautifully produced, gorgeously illustrated compendium.
“If you drink much from a bottle marked
‘poison,’ it is almost certain to disagree with you,
sooner or later.” –Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland In
both history and fiction, some of the most dramatic, notorious
deaths have been through poisonings. Concealed and deliberate,
it’s a crime that requires advance planning and that for many
centuries could go virtually undetected. And yet there is a fine line
between healing and killing: the difference lies only in the dosage!
In Botanical Curses and Poisons, Fez Inkwright returns to folkloric
and historical archives to reveal the fascinating, untold stories
behind a variety of lethal plants, witching herbs, and funghi. Going
from A to Z, she covers everything from apple (think of the poisoned
fruit in “Snow White”) and the hallucinogenic
angel’s trumpet to laurel, which emits toxic fumes, to
oleander (a deadly ornamental shrub), with each plant beautifully
illustrated by the author herself. This enthralling treasury is packed
with insight, lore, and the revealed mysteries of everyday
flora—including the prevalence of poisoning in ancient Rome,
its use in religion and magic, and common antidotes—making
this perfect for gardeners, writers, folklorists, witches, and scientists
alike!
