Botanical Field Guide - Wild Flowers of the British Isles

A beautifully worn copy of Wild Flowers of the British Isles from Ward Lock's Junior Field Guides series. The kind of book that was once owned by someone who actually used it to identify flowers on hedgerows and hillsides.

Published in the 1950s, this pocket-sized guide features 230 wildflowers illustrated in full colour—delicate botanical drawings alongside practical descriptions. The green striped cover has faded to that perfect soft sage, and inside you'll find pages marked with natural patina.

It's the sort of thing that sits beautifully on a shelf but also deserves to be used. Take it on walks, leave it on your bedside table, or gift it to someone who appreciates the slower pace of learning plants by their proper names.

Condition:
Vintage with honest wear. Cover shows age-appropriate fading, edge wear, and some spotting. Pages have natural yellowing/patina but are intact and clean. Binding is sound. No major tears or missing pages—this book has been loved and used, exactly as it should be.
