* A wonderful book of verse about flowers and their popular names, the texts incorporated in colorful Art Nouveau plates where the flowers have been depicted as 'squires and dames', fairies, knights and beautiful queens. An exquisite children's book with matching flyleaves and a striking binding decoration.
