In the cozy accents of a British gardening columnist discussing the proper approach to cabbage worms, a practicing witch reveals such dark truths as how to improve sex (judicious quantities of your favorite liqueur - she particularly recommends Strega - in beautiful glasses) and the properties of colors (fill a blue glass bottle with water and leave it in the sunlight several days before imbibing the results, which will be beneficial to health and psychic sensitivity ). Then you might want to know how to remove evil spirits from the garden (plant a rowan tree, of course) or house (three peeled onions hung at strategic points for seven nights, then thrown into a running stream). . . . Laughable but affable. (Kirkus Reviews)
