Nicholas Culpeper is best known as the celebrated English herbalist of the 17thC.His major work,'The Culpeper Herbal',has been continually published over the years since it was written in 1651. It is little known that Culpeper also,in the same year, wrote 'A Directory for Midwives',now edited and published under the title 'Culpeper's Book of Birth'.Written in the very direct and frank language of the time,much of what Culpeper says is relevant to today's world and mother.He is,for example,very modern in his attitude to sensible diet and exercise.There are chapters on Love and Marriage; Diet; Exercise and Rest; Conception; Pregnancy; Labour; Birth; Nursing; Milk; Child Care; Weaning.A very useful and practical book which beautifully evokes the period with delightful drawings and paintings by Sue Warne. Since April 2013 and again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too! So,please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk ,because of the lighter weight of this item for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
