John Simpson
«'Carried along by the drama, the history, the travel, the romance, the love of a dog, let alone the plant-hunting. I couldn't put this down'»
Sarah Raven
«'It is a belter!'»
Jessie Childs, author of God's Traitors: Terror and Faith in Elizabethan England
«'It's a great Stevensonian adventure but with a 21st century spin. Harry and Clarissa work really well – wholly believable and sexily engaging. The detail and the textures throughout are exemplary: lightly worn but dripping with atmosphere and exotic life. Really brilliantly achieved'»
William Boyd
«'A terrific swash-and-buckle adventure. The detail is eye-opening, the story gripping and unusual. Bravo!'»
Elizabeth Buchan
«Cleanly written ... and exquisite'»
Times Literary Supplement
«'A good adventure story, a ripping yarn of a tale'»
Country Life
«'The Plant Hunter is a feast for the senses and a must for every reader who enjoys great adventure writing. The exuberant life in these pages and the drama of the story along with Mogford's lively engaging writing make this a life-enhancing pleasure to read. Be swept away'»
Imogen Robertson
«'An old-fashioned adventure yarn with all the virtues of the genre, The Plant Hunter engages, informs and entertains, while taking the reader to distant, unexpected places. Highly recommended'»
