Hardback. Condición: Good. Wild Flowers of the Wayside and Woodland (1955) ? T. H. Scott & W. J. Stokoe Frederick Warne | ISBN: ? (it?s 1955; ISBNs were still a twinkle) | Condition: Good | Sold by Crappy Old Books? A pocket guide from the age of thermoses and sensible shoes: the British countryside, annotated. Wild Flowers of the Wayside and Woodland is the book that turns hedgerows into libraries and lay-bys into lectures. It?s your licence to point at something pink by a ditch and say, with unwarranted confidence, ?Campion??and then flip a page and become warranted. Scott and Stokoe are the kind of companions who never make you feel silly for saying ?buttercup? as a general lifestyle. They coax you into specifics: petals, sepals, habitats, Latin that sounds like spells, commonsense notes about where a plant actually chooses to live (meadow, verge, woodland, mildly judgmental churchyard). Expect clear descriptions , crisp illustrations , and that mid-century decency which assumes you have a pencil and a sandwich. What?s inside (besides chlorophyll and quiet joy): Quick-look IDs arranged the way real people look?by colour and place ?so you can get from ?blue thing by the stile? to Veronica chamaedrys without needing a PhD or a stepladder. Plates and line drawings that show what matters (shape, habit, ?is this actually a weed??). Blooming times & habitats so you stop hunting for marsh plants on a hill and vice versa. Notes that stick : the sort you remember at the exact moment you need to impress a child or a spaniel. Fieldcraft truths the book quietly admits: Dandelions vs. hawkweeds is an advanced course; you?re doing amazing, sweetie. Nettles will continue to be nettles; knowledge is analgesic, not armour. The plant you trod on was probably rare; the plant you admired is probably thriving. Everything looks beautiful when you kneel down. Why it still works (even in the era of apps that shout ?cow parsley!? at clouds): Analogue attention. The act of turning a page calibrates your eyes. Locale-first. This is resolutely British in gaze and hedgerow; the book knows your bridleway better than your phone does in a dead spot. Portable poetry. The Latin is music, the common names are gossip, and both will make you nicer at picnics. About this specific copy: Condition: Good , via Crappy Old Books , whose brand is irony, not prophecy. Expect honest shelfwear, a spine with backbone, and pages ready for field duty. Perhaps a ghost of a previous owner?s name in fountain pen; certainly nothing that interferes with your date with a foxglove. Possible side effects: Unshakable desire to say ?hedgerow? three times a day. New respect for damp places. Habit of pausing walks to consult little pictures, to the mild despair of faster friends. A tote bag full of leaves you swear you?ll press later. A micro-epigram for your bookmark: Verge wisdom: small flowers, large attention. Take it out on a dull afternoon and watch the world get fussy?in the best way. Roadsides become galleries; woodland edges turn chatty; the ordinary admits it?s extraordinary with good manners. No ISBN, plenty of insight. Crappy Old Books has the copy. The hedgerow has the rest.
