Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-22 00:00:00 James Robins I must have an earlier edition because there is no cheesy picture on it. I have carried this book around with me for years, at least 20. Periodically I read it like a novel. I don't remember any of it, except now maybe I will because I have a garden and I'm growing some of the herbs. But there is something in the voice and the writing style in this book that comforts me. I don't really read it for the valuable information. I just find it soothing. I'm not much of a reader of non-fiction. I think this woman is somehow a print guru for me. I think reading this book adjusts my chakras or some such thing. She introduces the herbs kind of like they are people. You get a feel for their personalities. She tells you how the Arab bedouins or the gypsies, or the Mexican indians used them. And she knows this because she lived with all these peoples. I have a kind of allergy to styles which have a "new age" feeling. Maybe it's because the author is a vet, and treats animals with herbs. Maybe it's because there's a bit of british in her english, or because she plants Rosemary in Galilee where she lives. Anyway I come back to it again and again for reasons that are more literary or spiritual than herbal.
