The history and uses - benign and sinister - for 26 prickly, stinky, tricky, troublesome fruit are told in a new book by American essayist and poet Kate Lebo. The Book of Difficult Fruit is the title of her painstakingly researched book, which contains 26 quirky essays about a selected fruit for each letter of the alphabet.
She mixes history, science, ecology, folklore and snippets from her life. Kate Lebo takes Lynn on a tour through the world of fruit, including recipes you might like to try and others you almost certainly won't.
