by Linda O. Rago
In Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, you will find a Wise Woman tending her herb garden--Linda Ours Rago. She may recite a few herbal charms for you, or fix you some chamomile tea. In Mugworts in May, she shares herbal folklore that has been passed down through the generations. In this book, you will find herbal tales and charms for improving your gardening, health and well-being, and love life!
Rago is a traditional Appalachian herb woman who has cooked and gardened with herbs for over 50 years. As Linda takes us through the seasons, a cold January night yields Savory Lentil Soup; on warmer April mornings try Chive Biscuits or Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday.
