by Jamaica Kincaid (Author), Kara Walker (Illustrator)
A unique collaboration from two of America's leading artists that explores the fascinating and hidden history of the plant world.
In this witty, deeply original book, the renowned novelist Jamaica Kincaid offers an ABC of the plants that define our world and reveals the often brutal history behind them.
