Book Overview
This colorful Victorian floral dictionary evokes an age gone by....
To Victorian letter writers in the West a new, exotic and secret language came from the East, communicating through flowers. The language of flowers became so refined in the nineteenth century that a dictionary was necessary. Using this source, one could send a message of reproach, passion, friendship, quarrel or a myriad of other sentiments singly and combined via a simple bouquet without ever penning a single word. Discover the language of flowers in this gift hardback, perfect for any home.

Slow down your pace and allow this little treasure to open up a whole new line of communication with the special people in your life. Guys, this is the perfect way to express sentiment not easily vocalized (of course, she'll need her own copy to understand the message). Enjoy the subtle art of a by-gone era.
