Wild Wisdom: The Folklore, History, Myths and Magic of Herbs

By Kim Walker

Wild Wisdom celebrates the magic of herbs - their beauty and beneficial qualities, but also the myths and legends that are associated with them. Concentrating on over 50 of the most common herbs, fungi and seaweed, Kim Walker helps you to identify these plants and discover their edible and medicinal benefits. Woven into the text are fascinating stories from across the globe that bring the herbs to life.

All the herbs can be foraged or grown in Europe or North America and the book is divided seasonally as a prompt to get you outside and into nature, whatever the weather. And there are herbal recipes as well - from Mugwort Dream Drops (mugwort is said to have dream and sleep-inducing properties) to Elderberry Gummies for immunity and gut health.

This is a beautiful compendium, packed with insightful information and advice, to encourage you to appreciate the herbs that live around you.
