The details are fascinating. They include everything from the well-known (the Opium poppy as an illegal intoxicant), to the shocking (extract of Castor bean was allegedly used by KGB agents to murder a communist defector in 1978), to the downright bizarre (the Tanghin poison-nut was used in Madagascar as an ordeal poison).
Visually, the book is very pleasing, with nice old-fashioned text and delicate, detailed black and white copper etched illustrations. Ms. Stewart communicates her love of all things botanical with well-written and witty enthusiasm; her fascination is infectious. This book would be an admirable choice to read while sipping a cold drink (but hold the Hemlock!) in the garden.
