Summary

In 'The Children's Book of Gardening,' co-authored by the esteemed Mrs. Paynter and Mrs. Alfred Sidgwick, the enchanting world of flora is tenderly unfolded to the young mind. Rich in detail and vibrantly illustrated, this guide weaves through the botanical tapestry with a hands-on approach to gardening, delving into the life cycles of plants and their variety, from the vivid perennials to the fleeting beauty of annuals and the steadfastness of biennials. The text's literary style is both instructive and engaging, expertly tailored to a youthful audience, making complex horticultural concepts accessible without diluting their essence. This accomplishment situates the work within a tradition of educational children's literature that aims not merely to inform but to inspire a lifelong passion for the natural world.
Mrs. Paynter's collaboration on this literary garden stems from a profound understanding of the subject, married with an educational zeal to impart this knowledge to younger generations. Her work is informed by a keen observation of nature combined with the desire to encourage children to engage with the environment through gardening. By instilling reverence for the growth cycles of the very flowers that children may see in their surroundings, Mrs. Paynter contributes to a more environmentally aware and involved youth.
The book emanates as a splendid resource for children and parents alike, eager to explore the lively art of gardening. It presents an inviting pathway into horticulture for the fledgling gardener, equipped with the fundamental knowledge to appreciate and participate in this timeless practice. Highly recommended not only for its educational merit but also for its ability to ignite the imaginations of its young readers, 'The Children's Book of Gardening' stands as a testament to the joy of watching things grow and the cultivation of a new generation of garden lovers.

    New: removable dosage table 

The publication of Homeopathy for Plants heralded the start of a truly green revolution. The book has sold over 76.000 copies and been translated into many different languages. 

It’s a handy guide to the most common plant diseases, pests and types of damage with information on how to treat your plants with homeopathy. Christiane Maute® is one of the pioneers who has been using homeopathy on ornamental and edible plants for many years. 

Whether leaf spot on roses, brown rot on tomatoes, fire blight on fruit trees, aphids, leaf curl, cancer, mildew, monilia fruit rot, snail and slug damage, black spot or just poor growth – Ms Maute explains the tried-and-tested remedies for the most common diseases. 

Clear and precise instructions are also given for the layperson to treat plants for the effects of frost, hail, damage, wounds following pruning of trees or bushes, heat damage and the effects of repotting.

Most diseases are illustrated with pictures, making it easy for you to recognise the disease and quickly find the correct remedy. The recommendations on dosage and application have been revised and are very clearly described with a handy removable table. A compact materia medica of the remedies rounds off the book. 

The numerous real-life examples added for this comprehensively updated edition demonstrate that homeopathy for plants has now come of age. The chapter on houseplants covers the homeopathic treatment of typical problems such as fungal infestation, temperature damage or waterlogging. 

A great guidebook specially for amateur gardeners which will surely convince even those unfamiliar with homeopathy to give it a go!

Sets of Remedy Preparations Mentioned in the Book by Christiane Maute

"Treating plants with homeopathy requires time and patience, but it is well worth it, as indicated by its effects: aphids literally fall from the leaves. After just a few hours there were only a few aphids remaining." - from Demeter Rundbrief, April, 2011

"It is often said that one must believe in Homeopathy for it to work. As plants cannot do that, there must be something real at work here." - from the article 'Globuli für den Garten', Country, April 2011

    While in London in 1897, Mark Twain was commissioned by William Randolph Hearst to report for the San Francisco Examiner on the sixtieth anniversary of Queen Victoria’s ascension to the throne.  
  
Evoking historical detail reminiscent of passages in The Prince and the Pauper and Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, Twain compares the jubilee to his own original and imaginative account of the 1415 celebration following the English victory at Agincourt, and he also reflects on the rapid changes in the British Empire during the Victorian age.

    This “fantastic collection of the Mountain State's ghostlore . . . takes readers into the legends and the phenomena like no one else can” (Jeff Belanger, author of The World’s Most Haunted Places). Rich in history and natural splendor, West Virginia also boasts a wealth of unexplained mysteries. In this volume, noted paranormal researcher Rosemary Ellen Guiley delves into more than one hundred accounts of hauntings from across the state.   From the restless spirits of the Hatfields and McCoys to John Brown’s ghost at Harper’s Ferry, Guiley shows that the region’s history is still very much with us. She also explores lesser-known mysterious places such as Droop Mountain, where headless spectors roam, and the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, a site replete with tortured phantoms. Around the campfire or tucked away on a dark and stormy night, this big book of ghost stories is a hauntingly good read.
