Poisoned apples, pumpkins that turn into carriages, olives that can be transformed into oil to light up the darkness... where would our famous fairy tales be without plants? Hand in hand with Snow White, Cinderella and Ali Baba, biologist Aina S. Erice invites us to discover the wonderful world of plants. Here are nine fabulous opportunities to explore orchards, deserts, gardens, markets and enchanted woods and to talk about important subjects, such as the agrobiodiversity we eat, the role of plants in construction, textiles and dyeing and the flowers we plant in our gardens. A book in which literature takes us winging towards botanic knowledge.
