A book such as this should be lavishly illustrated, and Mr. Blunt's text is clear and readable. I have placed the "Fantasy" tag on this book, because it is about a very elaborate fantasy indulged in by a very well-heeled fan of the genre. Wagner anyone?

The definitive work on one of the world's greatest naturalists, the Swedish taxonomist Carl Linnaeus. This beautifully illustrated biography celebrates the man who will be remembered for ever as the father of modern plant taxonomy. This is an account of Linnaeus the man, his adventures in the wilds of Lapland, his family life and his relations with his pupils, as well as his epoch-making scientific achievements.
