Jane Francesca Agnes, Lady Wilde (1821-1896) was an Irish poet and mother of Oscar Wilde. She wrote under the pseudonym "e;Speranza"e; and famously supported the Irish nationalist movement. She also had a particular interest in folktales, which she collected. In "e;Folk Medicine, Plant Lore, and Healing Plants"e;, 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: "e;The Properties of Herbs and Their Use in Medicine"e;, "e;Medical Superstitions and Ancient Charms"e;, and "e;Plants"e;. 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.
