Vickery's folk flora : an A-Z of the folklore and uses of British and Irish plants
Vickery, Roy2019
Books, Manuscripts
A dictionary of British (native, naturalised and cultivated) plants and the folklore associated with them. Unlike many plant-lore publications 'Vickery's Folk Flora' tells us what people currently do and believe, rather than what Victorians did and believed. The result is a vivid demonstration that plant folklore in the British Isles is not only surviving but flourishing; adapting and evolving as time goes by, even in urban areas.
