Review: interesting and entertaining - I bought this book just to gain a little insight into the more mischievious plants after doing some related design work.. I ended up reading it from cover to cover (when I should have been drawing..oh dear)it is so addictive and well written! I love the gothic cover design and the illustrations are beautiful and chime with the general feel of the book (it reminds me of a Victorian-era garden guide written by the likes of Capability Brown). Each plant and its attendant danger to us seems very well investigated and concise without being over-long. I think it would make a great gift for green-fingered chums or family, or simply to read for our own amusement and information. Buy it! Review: Fascinating, well written and intriguing - I have finished this book within six days, for me a record. I have not been able to put this book down. For me it's completely different to other plants books as the way it is written is easily readable, but so captivating you just want to read more. I have learnt new things from this book and have found it completely fascinating and just down right intriguing. What a brilliant book! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 361,704 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 955 in Nature References 1,782 in Garden Plants 10,574 in Popular Science | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,443) | | Dimensions | 14.4 x 2.4 x 18.2 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1604691271 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1604691276 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 236 pages | | Publication date | 1 Sept. 2010 | | Publisher | Timber Press | ## Images ![Wicked Plants: The A-Z of Plants That Kill, Maim, Intoxicate and Otherwise Offend: The Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother and Other Botanical Atrocities - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CS6MAYvzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ interesting and entertaining *by M***T on 28 August 2011* I bought this book just to gain a little insight into the more mischievious plants after doing some related design work..

For me it's completely different to other plants books as the way it is written is easily readable, but so captivating you just want to read more. I have learnt new things from this book and have found it completely fascinating and just down right intriguing. What a brilliant book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Book Lover's Book *by P***Y on 23 March 2013* What a gem of a find this was - another title by the same author came up on Goodreads. Searching for it on Amazon, I came across this. It is a lovely little hardback and the content is not only informative but entertaining too. I even found information on a plant I had been trying to remember the name of for years, having seen a documentary about its usage within tribes and also by Western society. This book now just sits on the sofa with me as I like it to be within arms reach for a dip into at a moments notice. I shall be buying at least another one as a gift and I can't wait for the next, 'The Drunken Botanist' to arrive. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/62826965-wicked-plants-the-a-z-of-plants-that-kill-maim](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/62826965-wicked-plants-the-a-z-of-plants-that-kill-maim) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
