Flowers of the Meadow – King Penguin Botanical Book






Flowers of the Meadow – King Penguin Botanical Book
A collectible King Penguin edition, Flowers of the Meadow, featuring Geoffrey Grigson’s text and Robin Tanner’s exquisite illustrations of British wildflowers. One of the most decorative titles in the King Penguin series, this volume brings the charm of mid-century publishing together with timeless botanical art.
Published circa 1940s–50s, the book includes 31 colour plates such as Ragged Robin, Meadow Sage, Cowslip, Chicory, and more. The dust jacket is present though worn, with losses to edges. Binding shows wear, foxing and age spotting are visible, but plates remain vivid. A delightful piece for collectors, for display, or as a source of botanical prints to frame.
