Capturing the essential purity of the subject matter and the timelessness of the early illustrated herbals, the individual volumes of the Little Library of Healing Herbs provide up-to-date commentaries on the contemporary and traditional uses of these life-enhancing plants. Featuring beautiful illustrations and photographs, the books are devoted to those herbs that today are well-recognized--the culinary and medicinal herbs--as well as those with a little-known but highly impressive pedigree--herbs used for romance, meditation, and self-knowledge. Brimming with practical information, recipes, and historical lore, these charming little volumes are ideal to collect or to give as gifts.
