Poisonous plants have intrigued and beguiled humans throughout history, and this book will take readers on a world tour of 50 of the most toxic and fascinating species of plants and fungi.

The book will be lavishly illustrated and include information on the toxic effects of each plant, peppered with stories of some of the world's most high-profile poison cases. Discover how we have harnessed the power of some of the planet's deadliest plants to create cutting-edge medicines, and how others have been used for centuries for recreational and ritual purposes.

Crucially, you will learn what NOT to pick when foraging, as some of the deadliest plants can be mistaken for common edible varieties.

Illustrated by Alice Smith, in a stunning gothic style which highlights the uses and stories associated with these plants; alongside more traditional botanical illustrations so that readers can accurately identify these plants in the wild.
