Flora Sigtrygg’s Odyssey – The Quest for Herbal Highs (Tales from a Physic Garden)
Book about uplifting plants.
When a new chemical high causes the death of her charismatic friend, Flora crosses the Devil’s Water and enters the strangely bewitching Physic Garden in search of herbal routes to happiness. Instructed by the Old Crone, the intrepid teenager sets off on shamanic journeys to meet the plant spirits. They dish out medical and scientific information about ways to alter human consciousness. Some offer her the makings of the safe, mellow herbal highs, which will be perfect for the midsummer festivity that Flora is planning. But, in spite of the warnings, unable to resist the lure of the more potent plants, Flora sets off alone to find out what they have to offer. These plants are delighted to meet her, but toxic and terrifying in nature, they have no intention of letting Flora leave.
This book is by a scientist and by a creative writer, and is illustrated with photographs of plants and artworks in the Dilston Physic Garden.
