Sobre IBD

A quiet invitation to slow, to notice, to wonder. The Call Of The Wildflower gathers nature’s small dramas into a lucid, lyrical portrait of the British countryside that feels both intimate and timeless.This is more than a collection of essays; it is a companion for curious gardeners, nature lovers, and readers who relish a humane, thoughtful gaze at the land. Salt’s clear, accessible voice blends botany, natural history, and human nature in landscape, offering a steady stream of observation, reflection, and quietly joyous discovery. Written in the late Victorian era and shaped by Ruskin-inspired sensibilities, the work rewards attentive reading with enduring insights about wildflowers, the seasons, and the gentle ethics of coexistence with the living world.The book holds literary and historical significance as a public domain classic repositioned for today. It will appeal to casual readers seeking natural wonder and to classic-literature collectors who value provenance, craftsmanship, and restoration. More than a reprint, this edition is a collector’s item and a cultural treasure, restored for today’s and future generations.A nature essay collection that invites reverence without pretence, The Call Of The Wildflower is a natural history companion for nature writing enthusiasts and anyone who wants to see the world through a gardener’s patient, human lens.
