The Book of Herbs
Rosalind Northcote and Harry Roberts
Anise, balm, basil, borage: Rosalind Northcote strolls the herb garden the way others stroll a portrait gallery, giving each plant its history, its uses, and its stories. Chapters range from the chief herbs of her own day to the lore that trailed them through the centuries. Gentle, literate garden writing from Edwardian England. The book to read with tea and a trowel nearby.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
