Collected Curiosities – An Evening with Amanda Edmiston

Following on from the enchanting journey of The Time Traveller’s Herbal, Amanda Edmiston returns with her wonderful new book Collected Curiosities, a rich tapestry of folklore, herbal lore, recipes, and personal reflections that bridge history and healing.We rejoin our herbal time traveller in 1800s Scotland, after a brief whisper from the 17th century, when we encounter Lady Lawers on the banks of Loch Tay, whose prophecies about an Ash tree lead us into urgent conversations about nature, sustainability and cultural memory.From the clearances and the rise of industrialisation to Victorian ghost stories and First World War folklore, this is a journey steeped in mystery, movement, and medicinal magic.This book launch is suitable for young-adult and adults.
