This book is written in Glennie Kindred's usual fascinating style, with lovely black and white line illustrations throughout. It features sections on around 20 different herbs and their uses, and also has a section on different ways of administering herbs, dosage, collecting and drying herbs and a list of common ailments and herbs that can be used to treat them. I would definately give this book 5 stars, and would probably do the same for any of her other books. It is a source of constant amazement to me that she manages to pack so much information into such a small book!
