OverviewJane Francesca Agnes, Lady Wilde (1821-1896) was an Irish poet and mother of Oscar Wilde. She wrote under the pseudonym Speranza and famously supported the Irish nationalist movement. She also had a particular interest in folktales, which she collected. In Folk Medicine, Plant Lore, and Healing Plants , Wilde looks at a variety of natural cures, healing plants, and remedies from Irish folk culture ranging from love and invisibility potions, to remedies for toothache and beyond. Contents include: The Properties of Herbs and Their Use in Medicine , Medical Superstitions and Ancient Charms , and Plants . Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on folklore.
