Details

In the mid 17th century, England was visited by civil war, famine, epidemics which rivalled the Black Death and huge infant mortality rates. Into the midst of these terrible times came Nicholas Culpepper's Herbal, one of the most popular and enduring books ever published. Working in an underground world of religious sects, secret printing presses and unlicensed apothecary shops, Culpepper challenged the establishment and became part of the revolution which toppled the monarchy. This is the spellbinding and heroic story of the life and times of a medical rebel.
