“In the potential gift book category, there are a number of contenders. Hedgemaids and Fairy Candles: The Lives and Lore of North American Wildflowers, Jack Sanders (Ragged Mountain Press, Camden, Maine, 1993, $21.95 hardbound, recycled paper) is one. ‘Hedgemaid’ is a nickname for ground ivy, while ‘fairy candle’ is one common name for the wild herb black cohosh. The author has long loved and written about wildflowers; this volume focuses primarily on woodland species east of the Rockies. It has many interesting tidbits about the mythology and medicinal use of these ‘weeds with a press agent.'”
