Inspired by Victorian tradition, this book brings together quotations from a rich variety of poets and writers with diversity of style and ideas such as Shelley, Wordsworth, Byron, Longfellow, Shakespeare , Cowper, Butler, Milton, Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth 1. Each quotation is illustrated with a delicate watercolour of a chosen flower, with a specific meaning in the Victorian language of flowers – rose for love, daisy for innocence, ivy for friendship and violet for faithfulness.
