Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. ### Gardener's Magic and Other Old Wives Lore by Bridget Borland 1979 ### ## THIS BOOK Classified as VERY GOOD: 1979 EDITION. The Jacket is full colour and laminated. There are a few minor tears in the Jacket, but still protecting the main book. Being an older publication that holds such a lot of interest and information, it gets diluted when newer publications are written, making this book and all books that are aged invaluable ## ## Have you ever wondered how to make a love potion? Or a magical potpourri? Or how to grow mandrake and use its magic, man-shaped root? Would you know what flower to eat if you had taken the outward form of a donkey and wanted to get back into human shape? This book is as much about gardeners as about gardening, for gardener's magic is about the hopes and fears of men, always in trouble of some kind, who looked out into the garden for help ? and perhaps found it because they were so sure it must be there. The magic mentioned is with down-to-earth old wives' lore, much of it sent to Bridget Boland by readers of Old Wives' Lore for Gardeners. ## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.

Built during World War II, the Shinano was, and remains to this day, one of the most remarkable war vessels ever constructed. At a displacement weight of over 75,000 tons, she was the biggest ship ever built to that time, with 18" guns that could hurl 4,000 pound projectiles over 25 miles. A battleship-converted-to-carrier, the Shinano was a military marvel that the Japanese hoped would reverse the war fortunes of an entire nation. On her maiden voyage she was escorted by three battle-savvy destroyers and manned by a crew of thousands. Who could have ever foretold that she would sink within days of leaving drydock?

When young Hugh Herriot first met John Graham of Claverhouse, the legendary heroic leader of the King's cavalry in Scotland, he knew his life would never be the same. Some said "Bloody Claver'se" was in league with the devil - but Hugh was determined to follow the dashing soldier anywhere. Joining Claverhouse - Bonnie Dundee - meant turning against his own family, religious rebels called Covenanters, who were terrorizing the land. It meant fighting battles that would decide the fate of his king and country - and that were more harrowing than he could have imagined. Most of all it meant leaving Darklis, the beautiful, mysterious girl who shared his secrets - and his love.
