Reviews
'I always find Charles Kovacs' books such a joy to read; they are so information and never fail to demonstrate a new way of looking at things. I recommend this book to both teachers and parents as a sensitive and thoughtfully presented introduction to botany for children.'

Author
Charles Kovacs (1907-2001) was born in Austria. He left his native country in 1938 and joined the British Army in East Africa. After the War, he settled in Britain, and in 1956 he took over a class at the Rudolf Steiner School in Edinburgh, where he remained a class teacher until his retirement in 1976. His extensive lesson notes have been a useful and inspiring resource material for many teachers and are available as books from Floris Books.
