This is believed to be another "first of its
kind" in its survey of over 60 plants in Britain
that have been used in the past during the activities
of dairying. Not only is a byegone pastoral Britain
brought to life but there is an opening section on
one of the rare traditional dairy farms that was still
in full production when this book was compiled.
Topics include butter making and cheese making and
the folklore of plants used to ward off evil and bring
God's blessing upon the activities.
Includes information on over a dozen trees and shrubs
used for associated wooden "treen" such
as butter prints and pats, pails and yokes, strainers
and presses.
