Rezension zu „Garlands, Conkers and Mother-Die: British and Irish Plant-Lore “
From 'doddering dickies' to 'yowky yowlings', from the old Glastonbury thorn legend to floral tributes to Princess Diana, Garlands, Conkers and Mother-Die is a delightful blend of sound scholarship and fascinating examples of plant-lore ancient and modern. Vickery expertly guides this tour of traditional uses of plants for eating, healing, marking agricultural cycles, weather forecasting, good luck or bad, making music, decorating and commemorating. And there's no end to what you can do with an onion. --,
