Forthcoming Book Events

Join Amanda to celebrate the launch of Collected Curiosities at a series of events both online and in-person, an invitation to step back into the herbal time spiral we discovered in The Time Traveller’s Herbal!

Collected Curiosities

a storyteller’s journey into the historical apothecary’s cabinet

Each live event is accompanied by herbal tastes and tisanes connected to the stories within the book, some will have workshop elements, allowing the audience to start creating their own collection of curiosities (or add to their existing one!).

Amanda will share insights into some of the social history, magical connections , folklore and herbal remedies she shares and of course you will be able to buy copies of Collected Curiosities and The Time Traveller’s Herbal and have them signed!
