The pleasures of the garden are often accompanied by creatures who likely have not been invited: slugs, aphids, spiders, beetles. But they are nothing to be afraid of, they are all part of a fascinating world beneath your feet. This is a whimsical compendium of historical facts, trivia, and folklore about garden creatures that takes a fresh look at the pests who share your turf. Over 100 illustrations, this delightful and charming book is ideal for curious gardeners and bug people alike, covering ants, bees, earthworms, fleas, grasshoppers, maggots, mites and more.
