I’m happy to present the twelfth title in my series of e-books designed for English language learners (and everyone who enjoys a good short story).
This one contains a non-fiction story “My Herbarium” by Anne Wales Abbot (1808-1908), originally published in her collection of prose and poetry works entitled "Autumn Leaves."
The e-book contains two pages of vocabulary exercises, as well as notes throughout the text, to help you with the more complex C1/C2 vocabulary.

Preparing some herbarium sheets for display in our new dinosaur gallery. All of these plant groups – a fern, cycad, and horsetails – were around during dinosaur times.
Installation of this new gallery has been a little delayed but we're planning to open in October if all goes to plan.
