The Plant Hunter by T L Mogford: Ideal for fans of history, adventure and intrigue – book review -
These intrepid adventurers were more than willing to risk life and limb to track down exotic blooms in some of the world’s remotest corners to grab the huge financial rewards offered by wealthy clients.
T.L. Mogford, who can trace his own roots back to a line of famous horticulturalists – including a great-uncle who has an apple tree named after him – harnesses his botanical heritage and his gift for storytelling for an exhilarating historical action yarn filled with danger, suspense and derring-do.
