Grandma
Grandma's Remedies: A Guide To
Traditional Cures And
Treatments From Mustard
Poultices To Rosehip Syrup
    Long before modern
    medicines became so
    widely available,
    families treated everyday
    illnesses with home-made
    remedies. Reused and
    refined year after year,
    they were handed down
    through the generations
    then lovingly copied into
    personal 'receipt' books.
    Grandma's Remedies
    brings together a
    beguiling collection of
    them, gathered from
    dusty medicine chests
    found in attics,
    recalled from childhoods
    long past, or discovered
    in family archives and
    libraries.

    Many
    of them are surprisingly
    effective. Did you know,
    for example, that
    drinking two cups of
    strong black coffee will
    alleviate an asthma
    attack? Or that chewing
    toasted fennel seeds will
    help combat indigestion?
    Or that rosehip syrup is
    a terrific source of
    vitamin C?

Green Men & White Swans: The Folklore of British Pub Names
Green Men & White Swans: The
Folklore Of British Pub Names
    Why do British pubs have
    such curious names? What
    tales lie behind the
    Moonrakers, the Hooden
    Horse, the Derby Tup?
    And why does the Green
    Man come in different
    shapes and
    sizes?

    In Green
    Men & White Swans    ,
    leading folklorist
    Jacqueline Simpson
    explores the fascinating
    stories behind pub names,
    uncovering the myths and
    legends, euphemisms and
    wordplays, heroes and
    even ghosts that have
    inspired pub landlords
    over the centuries.
    Spanning beloved locals
    from the Three Witches to
    the Three Nuns, from the
    Ashen Faggot to the Twa
    Corbies, this book is
    both an intriguing
    insight into the history
    of the British pub and a
    captivating journey
    through the
    country

Flights of Fancy: Birds in Myth, Legend and Superstition
Flights Of Fancy: Birds In
Myth, Legend And Superstition
    Did you know that
    Barnacle geese were once
    classified as fish? That
    both the Cherokees and
    the ancient Greeks were
    convinced that cranes
    regularly fought battles
    with pygmies? That the
    Swiss believed that any
    cuckoo that managed to
    survive for a year would
    turn into an
    eagle?

    Throughout
    history, birds have
    fascinated and intrigued
    mankind, so it is hardly
    surprising that an
    astonishingly rich body
    of myth, legend and
    superstition has grown up
    around them. Flights
    of Fancy     explores the
    stories told about 30 of
    the world's best-known
    species, from the
    blackbird to the wryneck,
    drawing on traditions
    from every quarter of the
    globe. Some of the
    stories included clearly
    arose as a result of
    faulty observation, such
    as the widely held belief
    that nightjars sucked
    milk from cows. Others
    stemmed from attempts to
    explain unusual aspects
    of appearance or
    behaviour. But the vast
    majority seem to have
    their origins in people's
    delight in inventing
    stories
