Frank Kingdon Ward (1885–1958)

Kenneth Cox, third-generation plant hunter, nurseryman and author of numerous garden books, has chosen to discuss Frank Kingdon Ward’s “Riddle of the Tsangpo Gorges", on FiveBooks (http://five-books.com) as one of the top five on his subject - Plant Hunting, saying that:
“…This is set in and around the world’s deepest gorge in Southeast Tibet and describes the plants which grow there. First published in 1925, it’s perhaps the best plant-hunting book of all time. So good, that I edited a full-colour modern edition with up-to-date information…”
