Parallel Botany

Leo Lionni
4.15
59 ratings 7 reviews
The first full-scale guide to the world of parallel plants - a vast, extremely peculiar and completely imaginary plant kingdom. Leoni presents all the fabulous lore and scholarship surrounding parallel plants, tells tales of the great parallel plant hunters, furnishes transcriptions of legends and folk tales relating to parallel plants, and provides elegant and scientifically-accurate drawings of each nonexistent plant species (remarkable because some of the species are invisible!) A unique, definitive and hilarious book.
