The herbal I mentioned:
A Modern Herbal by Mrs M Grieve, edited and Introduced by Mrs C F Leyel. First published 1931. Penguin Handbooks edition 1980. ISBN 0 14 046-440 9.
The Penguin edition is a large paperback. It describes the plants, gives their place of origin and the history of their use, tells about cultivation and goes on to describe modern uses, which parts and how to prepare them. It would be a super book for a desert island, but they wouldn't let you take it 'cos too useful! :lol: It's one of those books that you pick up to check something, and you're still there two hours later.
