The folklore and magical history of over 60 edible species
The magical use of edible plants - from the orchard and vineyard to the fig pit and hedgerow - is a tale as old as time.

From Persephone's pomegranates in ancient Greek myth to dragon fruit being born of the mythical creature's fiery breath, and from hazel trees growing at the end of the world to breaking fast with dates, almost every ingredient in an ancient or modern orchard has been said to have powerful properties.

Featuring over 60 species, with dozens of fascinating entries from around the world, this informative and entertaining gift book is the latest in Kew's esoteric Witch's Garden series.

Sandra Lawrence (Author) Sandra Lawrence has written for all the British broadsheet newspapers and many magazines, including Marie Claire, Britain, British Heritage, The English Garden and Kitchen Garden.

She is the author of three other esoteric titles with Kew, which have been translated into 10 languages - Witch's Garden, The Magic of Mushrooms and Witch's Forest. Her website is sandralawrence.com.
