informative medium-paced

This was a wonderful blend between folklore and facts and kept me interested throughout. With each plant discussed, we received an introduction to its history via a poem or scripture passage that referenced it - something that I really appreciated from a historical standpoint. My personal favorites that were covered were Fly Agaric (Chapter 10) and Mistletoe (Chapter 13) - both have such a range of folklore and history surrounding them and the author did a great job covering the tales while not going into unnecessary detail.
