Edit. Pelham Books LTD, 1980 London. 88 págs. 4ºm (23×18). Cartoné con sobrecubierta ilustrada en muy buen estado general. «There was a time when every wild plant under the sun was well known to man and was used by him; today most people are ignorant of plants’ names, let alone their virtues. For this delightful book Wilma Paterson has selected fifty common wild plants and trees, traces man’s association with them over the centuries, and gives recipes for delicious drinks which can be made from them. Some of the recipes are old; others are modern; all are in regular use by the author herself. She describes how to select and gather the plants, how to dry them, and gives general hints on wine and beer making and storage. Wilma Paterson’s real love of plants shines through the pages of this book. It is her hope that pleasure will be gained not only from making up and consuming the recipes, but also from the increased knowledge of wild plants which will inevitably follow. A Country Cup is exquisitely illustrated with colour reproductions and fine line drawings from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century floras.»
