Weed was an orphan boy apprenticed to an evil old apothecary, who used him abysmally. This is his diary, and a sorry tale of the battle between good and evil it is too.           Weed’s journal is part botanical workbook and part a diary of his own relationship with the poisonous plants, for he discovers that he is one of a few people with whom the plants can talk. The plants try to persuade Weed that with their help his master can easily be disposed of. Weed at first refuses. However, after his first love, Marigold, experiments with the poisons and dies, Weed is pushed over the edge and eventually plots to kill his master in spectacular fashion, using a taste of his own evil medicine.           Each “chapter” of the story starts with Weed making botanical notes of the plants as his master has taught him. The plant’s appearance and properties, where it is found, how it should be cared for, the most poisonous parts, how poison is extracted and administered, etc. These notes are accompanied by sketches of the plants in their natural form. Alongside, however, are Weed’s illustrated “diary” entries which show the “real” personalities of the plants. The poisons include Belladonna, Ergot, Hemlock, Henbane, Opium, Hogweed, Ricin, Nicotinia, Mandrake and Strychnine.           This gothic yet entertaining tale will delight both children and adults and also serves as an educational parable.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49532725854481,"sku":"GOR002033703","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49642977820945,"sku":"GOR005462751","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1862057311.jpg?v=1751186267"},{"product_id":"duchess-of-northumberland-s-little-book-of-poisons-potions-and-aphrodisiacs-book-the-duchess-of-northumberland-9780752494517","title":"The Duchess of Northumberland's Little Book of Poisons, Potions and Aphrodisiacs","description":"Combining the fascinating archive of the first Duchess of Northumberland with the expertise of Jane, the present duchess and the creator of the famous Poison Garden at Alnwick Castle, this gift book contains a collection of wonderful medicinal recipes passed down through generations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49561778618641,"sku":"GOR006150245","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49633978974481,"sku":"GOR006179226","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50487176102161,"sku":"GOR010873400","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52104867971345,"sku":"CIN0752494511VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53533555392785,"sku":"CIN0752494511G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0752494511.jpg?v=1751263569"},{"product_id":"duchess-of-northumberland-s-little-book-of-cocktails-cordials-and-elixirs-book-the-duchess-of-northumberland-9780750956314","title":"The Duchess of Northumberland's Little Book of Cocktails, Cordials and Elixirs","description":"Found in the archive at Alnwick Castle, this little book features some of the oldest recipes for cocktails and cordials ever recorded.
