The first book by Amanda Edmiston - The Time Traveller’s Herbal
“Travelling back through the mists of time, the ancient mysteries of the plants and flowers that have enhanced lives in a world without modern medicine are uncovered. Told over the centuries, starting in ancient Rome all the way up to the years of the Witch Trials and the Jacobite Rebellion, the reader journeys through time sampling the botanical marvels that did everything from soothing the pain of fever to revealing the world of the faeries, and learns the stories that surround us in the natural world.”
