[Tzivia Adler]

sadly, yet another list member is commiting, or attempting to commit, a novel.
sigh. you'd think i'd find something better to do with my alleged free time.

however, i ran into a sad lack of information.  a city girl writing ye olde country tale is going to have rather a lot of that :)

so, does anyone know how to go about thatching a roof?  also, what about herbs people used to use as medication?  i know willow bark tea was used to bring down fever, was it also used as headache tea?  what was good for arthritis?  what kinds of stuff were used in  poltices?  

as far as i know, flowers tend to grow colorful side up and root side down.  and... yup, thats about it.

my local librarian couln't help me find any books on these two topics.  does anyone here know something useful?  or know about useful books?

thanks ever so much
zivia, who can at least amuse a teen age sister with un-publishable stories
