This beautiful and interesting book, A Modern Herbal, was first published in 1931 by Mrs. M. Grieve. It contains Medicinal, Culinary, Cosmetic and Economic Properties, Cultivation and Folk-Lore of Herbs in England. It has since been updated various times to include corrections and expansions.

It makes an excellent gift for anyone interested in herbal medicine, plants of the UK, the history of medicine or uses of plants.
