To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Herbalist's Garden in January — Marta pulled the plant in October — grasped it at the root crown and pulled — and composted the top growth and covered the ground. In Bohemia in 1350, she goes out to the garden in January and the plant is there. The story is about what a person does with something that should not be alive but is, and what that persistence requires of her.
