Customer Reviews

A nice little "trinket" to have in your herbal library.

As is stated in the book, I wouldn't use this book for making any preparations; but it does give one an insight to how herbs were viewed, and used during the period. Once you get used to the spelling differences and the grammar of the day, this book becomes a pleasurable read. It is akin to listening to someone, who is well versed in the use of herbs, tell of how they use the same herbs we use, but differently.
