Product Description

Excerpt from How to Know the Ferns: A Guide to the Names, Haunts, and Habits of Our Common Ferns "If it were required to know the position of the fruit dots the character of the indusiam, nothing could be easier than to ascertain it; but if it is required that you be affected by ferns, that they amount to anything, signify anything to you, that they be another sacred scripture and revelation to you, helping to redeem your life, this end is not so easily accomplished." - Thoreau About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
