The Almanac
Lia Leendertz
Publisher: Unbound
Summary
A highly practical but also readable book for allotment owners and people who want to feel closer to nature. Distinctly British, it mixes folklore with foraging for a contemporary, non-superstitious audience. A beautifully designed gift book, heavily illustrated with black-and-white original drawings. For fans of Jane Struthers (Red Sky at Night ), Una McGovern (Lost Crafts ; The Hedgerow Handbook), Katy Sexton (Minding My Peas and Cucumbers; The Allotment Diaries), Ken Thompson (The Sceptical Gardener).
