PRODUCT DETAILS
Description
A beguiling mix of folklore, botanical stories, and apothecary-inspired healing in a beautifully presented herbal by modern-day herbalist and storyteller, Amanda Edmiston. Illustrated throughout with botanical details and pretty prints, discover over 25 recipes for easy-to-find or forage plants, set alongside retellings of ancient tales and a diverting mix of historical quotations. From stories of hawthorn and the Roman goddess Carna, and Norse tales of the goddess Hertha, crowned with hops; to recipes for a daisy-based ‘bump balm’, May haw brandy and a joint pain-relieving willow tisane, and more. A collection of traditional wisdom, discover plant-filled charms and sayings, including the Scottish custom of tying a bracelet of rowan berries to keep ‘the de’il in his stead’, and the 17th century belief that a snip of mugwort in a shoe in the morning allows you to ‘goe forth forty miles before noon and not be weary’. A delightful gift for a lover of plants, history and botanical illustration.
