To primitive man the whisper and movement of leaves and the silent
unfolding of flowers were proofs of life and power, and their
regeneration was a promise of nature's continuity. Cures, magic,
divination and portents were all connected with the rich variety of
available plant life, especially in verdant Britain. Some of these
beliefs were astonishingly long-lasting and, even if an altered or
faded form, have survived the sophistications of modern life, as
this book sets out to show. This volume is arranged in alphabetical
order and is illustrated with engravings from old herbals.'
