From the Preface:
Ruskin, in one of his friendly lecture-talks on art, with the sympathetic spiritual perception and originality of thoiught which characterize his uniqe genius, says: "Now, what we especially need for educational purposes, is to know, not the anatomy of plants, butt their biography - how and where they live and die, their tempers, benevolences, distresses and virtures." The quaint sentiment voiced by the great philosop'her many years ago is somewhat significantly in harmony with this dawning time of a simpler and brighter understanding of humanity and of nature. And could we find for such a flower biography a subject more entrancing, so deductyive, almost eerie, so plaintively sturdy, so instilled with romance, with patriotism and with pathos - as the Highland Heather?
This is a series of essays, poetry and prose about the heather. Accompanied by several black and white photographs.
