Medieval Plants and Brother Cadfael,
By Jane Eppinga (Tucson, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brother Cadfael's Herb Garden: An Illustrated Companion to Medieval Plants and Their Uses (Hardcover)
Not only is this gorgeous books with excellent pictures of plants, it shows a deep insight into Brother Cadfael's herbarium and his respect for plants. I loved the excerpts from the many Brother Cadfael books. I would have liked to have seen a bit more on the layout of Brother Cadfael's garden and perhaps some recipes and potions. Still the authors produced a beautiful book at a reasonable price with the pages crammed with in-depth information on herbs.

Cadfael's pictures,

This review is from: Brother Cadfael's Herb Garden: An Illustrated Companion to Medieval Plants and Their Uses (Hardcover)
This is most useful as a guide to Elis Peters' novels. The index of plants is oriented toward the fictional Cadfael and his uses, rather than to mediaval practice.The pictures are coffee table book quality. A must for gardeners who are Brother Cadfael fans, or Cadfael fans who are gardeners, but not a serious work.

It is a wonderful and informitive book on herbs.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brother Cadfael's Herb Garden: An Illustrated Companion to Medieval Plants and Their Uses (Hardcover)
This book was very informitive on the uses of herbs for medicines in the Middle Ages. I happen to be a fan of Cadfael and thought the pictures were wonderful. I had been doing a project on medical herbs in the Middle Ages and it was my best resource.
