Weeds and Wild Flowers

Weeds and Wild Flowers

by Alice Oswald (Author), Alice Oswald (Author), Jessica Greenman (Illustrator)

Synopsis

Weeds and Wild Flowers is a magical meeting of the poems of Alice Oswald and the etchings of Jessica Greenman. Within its pages everyday flora take on an extraordinary life, jostling tragically at times, at times comically, for a foothold in a busying world. Stunningly visualised and skilfully animated, this imaginative collaboration beckons us toward a landscape of botanical characters, and invites us to see ourselves among them.
