A little bit of everything you wanted to know about mistletoe, in a full colour guide! UK-based mistletoe expert Jonathan Briggs explains what mistletoe is, and why it has such a unusual place in tradition, myth and legend, especially at Christmas. The book majors on the classic mistletoe of Europe, the true mistletoe of legend, with traditions stretching way back into prehistory. Other mistletoes around the world get a mention too, but this is really a celebration of the real thing, known to botanists as Viscum album. Not sure which mistletoe you use at Christmas?
