About the Author:
"In a logical world, our readiness to believe in the magical and therapeutic qualities of everyday plants would diminish as scientific knowledge grows. Roy Vickery, the curator of flowering plants at the Natural History Museum, shows that this is not so, by producing an extraordinary compendium of traditional beliefs, laying emphasis on those current today, or within living memory." --Country Life
Roy Vickery is Curator of Flowering Plants at the Natural History Museum in London.
