About this book

The fascinating history of the tulip is explored in "The Tulip" by Anna Pavord, from its acceptance by Ottoman sultans to the tulipomania of the 17th century in Europe. A tiny parasitic aphid produces its varied colors, which result in stunning shades. This book will alter your perspective on tulip bulbs, regardless of your interest in gardening or history.
