CHASING PLANTS: JOURNEYS WITH A BOTANIST (KEW) (HB)

In his hair-raising adventures across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, Chris Thorogood treads a death-defying path out into the very heart of the world’s vast wilderness. Along the way, he encounters pitcher plants, irises and orchids more heart-piercingly beautiful than you could ever imagine. An internationally acclaimed botanical illustrator, Thorogood conjures his adventures back to life in the electric paintings which feature throughout the book. Joining his wild adventures is to be under a green spell: you’ll never think of plants the same way again.
