✦ The Ancient Grimoire's Opinion

This guide by Morgane Peyrot, illustrated by Lise Herzog, answers a fundamental question that every medicinal plant enthusiast eventually asks: how can I be sure of what I'm picking? The answer here is visual, precise, and immediately actionable.

Where many books on plants prioritize uses at the expense of identification, this one intelligently reverses the priority: you first learn to see, then to use. A rigorous approach, particularly valuable for beginners, but also useful for more experienced readers who wish to solidify their foundations.

Its pocket format makes it one of the rare books in this category that you really take with you – and that's its strength.

Our recommendation: the first book to slip into your bag before a forest walk.
