Elizabeth Blackwell was a herbalist with a story that is now being told. Our new book Heritage Herbal helps to explain who she was and there are recipes and remedies for the modern-day herbalist too.

There is an event @chelsphysicgdn this April! https://t.co/Zjgt4MSIWq

Today's #Christmasquote is from 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe' by C.S. Lewis, found in Anna James' 'A Children's Literary Christmas':

"And on the sledge sat a person whom everyone knew the moment they set eyes on him. He was a huge man in a bright red robe..."

Today's #Christmasfact, taken from George Goodwin's 'Christmas Traditions':

"Perhaps surprisingly, the first known image of kissing under the mistletoe is a riotous cartoon of 1794, and the tradition was probably invented at some point during the eighteenth century."

Another #festive plate served from Eve Marleau's 'The Menu' - 'The Paris Siege Christmas Feast’ during the Franco-Prussian War (1870):

"Stuffed Donkey’s Head with Radishes and Butter; Bean Soup with Elephant Broth; Kangaroo Stew; Wolf with Deer Sauce."

Today's #Christmasquote is from 'The Mill on the Floss' by George Eliot, found in The British Library's 'A Literary Christmas':

"But old Christmas smiled as he laid this cruel-seeming spell on the out-door world, for he meant to light up home with new brightness..."
