Country Wisdom Almanac: 373 Tips, Crafts, Home Improvements, Recipes, and Homemade Remedies (Paperback)
Having been a berry lover and berry picker since a young girl, I found this to be a very lovely and interesting book.Lovely for the beautiful pictures of so many berries.Interesting forthe variety of berriespictured and described.There are so many berries I've seen and wonderedabout, not daring to pick and eat, or being aware they are edible, notknowing how they are to be eaten. Now I have a reference. The book is afeast for the eyes with lots of useful information. A good book forwanderers of the forest who come across these delicate fruits and wonder.
