This book has quickly become a favorite among our staff. This newly published volume speaks to almost everyone who has Scandinavian heritage. You can almost hear you grandparents voices, offering advice on taking care of your skinned knees as a youngster. The folk remedies that we grew up with are traced back to their origins, which are often practical but sometimes amusing. The healers of the community worked with what was available. Often improvising with items that make you pause, while trying to follow the reason for the items use. All in all this is a terrific book, from a well loved author among the Little Norway family. |
