Интересна малка книжка, която се чете на едно сядане.

Изумително е колко много от растенията, които виждам на разходките си са всъщност адски отровни. Същевременно много от тези отрови се използват в различни количества за лекуване на различни заболявания, което е уникално любопитно за четене. :Р

Книжката щеше да спечели много от снимки на растенията, а не стари илюстрации, независимо колко красива са и колко vintage вид предават. За всяко растение имаше малко история, фолклор, симптоми и дали има антидот. :)

Informative and interesting read about some of the most deadly plants in Britain, with some super common ones! ☠️

Mushrooms are terrifying & I didn’t know hellebore was so lethal!!

It's amazing how many things are out there, waiting to kill us! Would've benefitted from some colour illustrations.

really interesting but I feel it could be a bit more detailed in places.

A really nice little book, and super pleased I picked this one up in a bookstore! Lovely illustrations and very detailed notes- not that many pages and definitely could be longer, but fantastic resource for what it is. I only wish it had more plants in!
