The Dragon’s Herbarium

The Dragon’s Herbarium is a blend of a botanical guide and a fantasy book. It presents 55 European plants – from common ones that readers can easily find in meadows or forests, to the rarest and most endangered species. The book provides interesting information about their properties and habitats, each illustrated with a meticulously drawn illustration.

But beware! The notes were prepared by the famous field illustrator Nushela Zmajevid, and sharp-eyed readers will notice that dragons and dragon-related creatures are hidden among the host plants in the illustrations.

This is a fantasy-botanical guide that takes readers of all ages into nature, reminding them of the richness of the plant world that is so often overlooked, while also feeding and inspiring their imagination.
