Margaret Roberts became a household name in South Africa for her fascinating and informative lectures and radio talks on herbs and their uses. The reader will be enchanted and amazed to discover the many and varied uses of plants such as sorrel and tumbleweed, dandelions or wisteria, while even the most common ‘weed’ growing unnoticed in the corner of the garden may be a sure cure for inflamed eyes or a bad chest cold.

Joan van Gogh’s full colour illustrations are exquisitely detailed and botanically accurate to ensure instant identification of each herb and plant described in the book.

Although the medicinal properties of herbs, plants and grasses take up a large part of the book, Margaret Roberts also includes deliciously different recipes such as Sour Fig Conserve, Fat Hen Croquettes, Rooibos Gingerbeer and Rose Hip Jelly.

In addition there are easy to make pot-pourris with step by step instructions, effective insect repellent sachets, as well as natural beauty aids — eg rosemary hair lotion to revitalise lifeless hair, or elderflower face lotion which is good for tightening the skin or soothing sunburn.

There is an easy reference herb and ailment chart at the back of the book. For example, should you be suffering from rheumatism, severe bronchitis, nausea or painful corns, the chart will immediately point to the most effective remedy.

Not only is MARGARET ROBERTS’ BOOK OF HERBS a practical handbook, it is also highly entertaining, and an attractive addition to any bookshelf.
