The Military Orchid And Other Novels

0/5 ( ratings)

Jocelyn Brooke blends memoir, botany and even satire to recall his lifelong quest in search of the flower that was his obsession: Orchis Militaris.

A slim volume that, whilst it has a colour frontis that reproduces the jacket image, is clearly still being printed on war-economy paper. The jacket/frontis is by Stephen Bone who also provides b/w decorations for the part headings.

A biographical trilogy which was re-issued in one volume in 1981 under the title The Military Orchid in both hardback and paperback .

A cracking introduction to the trilogy as a whole can be found on the Jocelyn Brooke website.

Release: October 30, 2008

ISBN 13: 9780141187136
