1st. Ed. Pub. Faber. 1977 pp.318 with colour and b/w. photographs; b/w. illus. 8vo. Nr. fine hardback in nr. fine dw.
What has never been pointed out about Darwin and the ‘Origin’ is that it was through his studies of flowers that he put his Natural Selection theory to the test. For the first time, in this work, the story is knowledgably and sensitively told by Mea Allan. She provides the reader with a profound and delightfully human picture of the man who ‘could not tell a daisy from a dandelion’ but who ended by teaching the botanists.
