  abstract: Plants have a remarkable mythology. From the ancient Greeks to contemporary Indigenous cultures, human beings have told colorful and enriching stories about plants for thousands of years. This volume explores the myriad of plant tales and the groundbreaking ideas that underpin them. Amid the key themes of sentience and kinship, it connects the anemone to the meaning of human life, tree hugging to the sacred basil of India and plant intelligence with the Finnish epic The Kalevala. Bringing together commentary, original source material and illustrations, it aims to challenge your perspective on the myths, the plants that feature and the role of human beings that narrate them.
