| Synopsis | Honey has enhanced our lives for over ten thousand years. Used as a sweetener and preservative long before sugar, honey is regarded all over the world as a healthy, life-promoting food, prized for its flavour, and in some quarters even accorded religious significance as a purifier. It has always been a symbol of well-being: where nature has been bountiful, the land is said to 'flow with milk and honey'. This elegant book is embellished by Graham Evernden's illustrations which evocatively portray the subject of honey from hive to honeypot. |
