It was the last in Walter Crane’s series of five floral fantasies depicting flowers in human form.
Largely Pre-Raphaelite in style, the book is wonderfully illustrated in colour throughout, with Crane handling all elements of the design (including hand-lettered text, endpapers and covers) to produce a work typically rich and harmonious in effect. Each leaf features a full-page portrait of a humanized flower, with reference to the Shakespeare play in which the flower is mentioned. The pages are presented in the French-fold or Japanese manner, printed on one side only, with each pair of leaves attached at the fore-edges.
