Herb Garden

by Helen Lyman

"Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of the earth." -- Genesis 1:30
Helen Lyman presents the history of plants and herbs in a most interesting way. The names of these herbs appear, over and over again, in myths and legends, and as you read this book you will find that they are a cure-all, not only for the ills of the body, but for the mind and heart as well.
This concise book aims to put before the reader in a very lucid language, the simplest way to start and cultivate a herb garden and to acquaint them as precisely as possible with the pleasure of the procedure.
The book opens with a short history of the use of herbs in different parts of the world. The the author gives a working list of 30 basic herbs with information on the use of each and then a chapter with detailed instructions on setting up a herb garden. This is followed by a short digression of herbs in the plays of Shakespeare. Finally a sample meal menu using the 30 herbs recommended is given.
This small classic was originally published in the US in 1934 under the title 30 Herbs Will Make an Herb Garden. It has been out-of-print for many years and -- until this Pilgrims reprint edition -- has been very difficult to obtain.

Hunting for Honey: Adventures with the Rajis of Nepal by Eric Valli In the plain of the Ganges in souther Nepal, Eric Valli has discovered the existence of a fascinating nomadic tribe living in perfect harmony with nature. Known as the 'bee people', the Rajis survive by harvesting wild honey and by fishing; a way of life that seems to have remained unchanged for centuries. In a forest where the overwhelming sound is the humming of bees, they collect wild honey from immense hives perched high in gigantic trees. The honey is a source of food, but also a healing substance for wounds, and a valuable commodity that can be sold to the other inhabitants of the plain. Using smoking fires to drive out and subdue the bees, men, women and children work together to collect the honeycombs. They take care to leave the hives intact, so that the bees will return year after year, and their supply of honey can be replenished. Eric Valli has done just that, following this wandering tribe who live surrounded by the perils and dangers of nature and who seek protection from the gods of the trees, rocks and rivers. The immense forest that once covered this part of Nepal is disappearing, and the future of this endearing people is very much in jeopardy. Through the striking beauty of the photographs and the author's moving commentary, the simple but magical lives of the honey hunters, the simple but magical lives of the honey hunters, now threatened by the destruction of their environment are vividly brought to life.

To Think of Tea

by Agnes Repplier

"Thank God for tea! What would the world be like without tea? How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea," is a quote from Sydney Smith, a jolly philosopher and political writer.

To Think of Tea is a novel book written by Agnes Repplier in 1932, at a time when great social changes were developing. It is a delightful resume of philosophers, poets, society figures and artists from the upper levels of British society, and how tea formed a significant part of their leisurely discourses.

So drink on this purveyor of the finest anecdotes; it is always time for tea.
