This is a very interesting and fun book to read. It’s beautifully created. The imaginary is something out of a fairy tale or fantasy. The writing actually has some interesting historical facts and is specialized in Appalachian folk magic. This is definitely a very intriguing book. It’s well written and covers a good range of topics, history, and folk magic. I am very pleased and happy with this book and look forward to thoroughly reading it! I just love the beautiful imagery that really adds to the book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2023
I'm not superstitious and mostly got this out of curiosity, so a few of these suggestions are a bit weird. It has some interesting history mentioned though, and it does properly warn of some poisonous parts of plants. It's mostly for the Appalachian region but a lot of these plants are pretty recognizable across the US, so it's still an interesting read. If you're into this kind of thing you likely won't be disappointed, but it lacked some more detailed information (such as where exactly you can find the plants it mentions, or which times of the season is best to look for them, or how to harvest from it or important signs to watch out to avoid diseased plants, etc), it's best for a more general introduction to this information but it is a little disappointing if you are hoping for more of a guide
