Hawthorn: Wildlife, Medicine and Folklore
I met Lucinda via Instagram and reached out as her posts regularly get a like from me. She is not only an herbalist, but a very talented artist and amateur naturalist.
The book comes beautifully gift wrapped with a thank you card with illustrations of moths. A treat indeed as soon as you see it and unwrap the gift. This book is small enough to hold in one hand and enjoy from cover to cover or dip into anytime. Illustrations include birds, mice, moths and butterflies along with ideas to help with identification even in winter.
This well written book touches on folklore, wildlife and medicine and is very much a personal observation by someone that loves nature. Recipes are included, as are photographs along with the illustrations. The book takes you through the seasons with Hawthorn and is a sheer delight, but a word of warning, if like me you find it hard to part with, order more as gifts.
