Amarant The Flora & Fauna Of Atlantis

Science & Nature Fantasy Children’s Books

Amarant: The Flora & Fauna of Atlantis by Una Woodruff is a lavish 1981 picture book that invites fantasy lovers into an imagined natural history of the lost continent. Every spread pairs Woodruff’s precise botanical paintings with handwritten field notes describing the mythical plants and creatures that once thrived on Atlantis.

This hardcover keeps its original dust jacket, making it a striking shelf piece for collectors of antiquarian fantasy art. The artwork blends folklore, mysticism, and Victorian scientific style—perfect for readers who enjoy Arthur Rackham or Brian Froud.

The book is in good used condition: pages are crisp and unmarked, the binding is tight, and it comes from a smoke-free home. Light foxing on the front papers and a faint crease or two are the only gentle reminders of its age.

Ideal for young adults, adults, or anyone curating a library of mystical art and culture, this edition offers a nostalgic escape without the distraction of handwriting or dog-eared pages.
