A companion to her popular How to Know the Wild Flowers, Parsons’s guide sets out to make ferns as familiar as any garden flower. She explains when and where to find them, the terms of fern anatomy and how they reproduce, then describes the species family by family, from the brake that grows across the world to rarer kinds of the eastern woods.
