Leaves : In Myth, Magic and Medicine - Postcard Book

What is a leaf? Walt Whitman said, Every leaf a miracle. To Alice Thoms Vitale, 87, a teacher, an artist, and the author of Leaves: In Myth, Magic & Medicine (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 1997), a leaf is nature's unsung wonder.

She has dedicated the past 30 years of her life to researching and creating authentic portraits of living leaves.

The images from her book, with almost 20,000 copies sold to date, can now be enjoyed in postcards.

Fifteen portraits of leaves (two copies of each) that have scented gardens, homes, and altars, provided nourishment, enriched the flavor of food, added color to fabrics, and been the source for powerful medicines will decorate your correspondence. And those who receive the gift of Alice Thoms Vitale's lifelong work will be enchanted by its beauty.
