The Orchid Thief - A True Story of Beauty and Obsession

William Heinemann, London, 1998. Creases to first two inner title pages, otherwise good secondhand condition.

Beautifully written, bizarrely funny and curiously gripping, The Orchid Thief is an enthralling exploration of the nature of obsession and of the beauty and strangeness of the flowers that have captivated generations of collectors.
