About this book
Belief that trees and plants have souls, spirits or personalities is where T. F. Thiselton-Dyer starts this handbook of plant folk-lore, with examples drawn from South-east Asia, Sumatra and the Ojibway people. He arranged the subject in 23 short chapters, including plants in witchcraft, fairy-lore, love-charms and dreams, weather lore, plant proverbs, children's rhymes and games, the doctrine of signatures and folk-medicine. The preface describes the book as a brief systematic summary with a few illustrations for each branch.
