A herb book like no other-it takes a broad definition of herbs and includes 100 wild plants from England, Scotland and Wales. It is organised thematically and has sections on wild foods, fruits and kitchen medicines. As well as describing the plants, it gives an account of the role of wild herbs in social life, arts, custom and landscape. Like Flora Britannica, this selection is the result of five years of painstaking research and includes the personal anecdotes, observations and regional knowledge of people from all over Britain.
