A Joy To Read!,

This review is from: Healing Threads: Traditional Medicines of the Highlands and Islands (Paperback)
This is a beautifully written, informative & thought-provoking book which weaves its way through many aspects of Gaelic culture in a scholarly and passionate fashion. Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the Gael, 'Healing Threads' is also a reminder of the roots of modern medicine.
