Poisonous Plants in Britain : A Celebration -
A Book By Chris Howkins
HOW SAFE ARE YOU ?
Do you know which plants in your garden or on the window sill are toxic?
It’s amazing how many plants in our everyday lives pose a threat if we abuse
them in some way. Indeed one of the most toxic is eaten by most of us daily.
Children are not brought up to know such things these days, so can you keep the
grandchildren safe? This book is not all about death and despair but a celebration
of the drugs and delights we derive from our poisonous plants, in the countryside, home
and garden. If you’ve had a general anesthetic you have probably had a dose of Deadly Nightshade.
The lethal Henbane goes into children’s travel sickness pills! In fact you are likely to be amazed
what is in the book. You will find that we have tried to make each entry readable and interesting.
