The forgotten herbarium
The product is only available in French language
The COLLECTOR VERSION reissue of Plume de carotte's "star" book.
Wild plants tell us stories. Small ones, linked to their popular names and symbolism, but also big ones, such as the many medicinal or culinary secrets they conceal.
Absinthe was the source of inspiration for the greatest painters; the poppy was Louis XIV's favorite salad; the cornflower helps the indecisive woman choose between her lovers; the Narcissus has its head bent over as a punishment, because it shaded the sun; the Henbane enabled witches to fly through the air...
Bernard Bertrand has rediscovered all this knowledge and legends from popular traditions, a memory book, a unique book, so that this herbarium and all the riches it contains are no longer forgotten...
The book that launched Editions Plume de Carotte is finally reissued, with new herbarium plates, and accompanied, for this collector's edition, by a BEAUTIFUL, life-size REPRODUCTION OF A HERBARIUM PLAT.
