Could you feed your family if the shops shut tomorrow? When the bombs fell and the rations ran dry, Britain turned to the hedgerows. From countryside lanes to city streets, Britain went back to the land. Ordinary citizens became extraordinary foragers—gathering wild plants, trapping game, brewing remedies, and surviving on knowledge as old as the land itself. 👑 World War Foraging is part historical journey, part survival guide, and a heartfelt tribute to the forgotten foraging front of WWI and WWII. Designed in the style of a wartime field manual, this beautifully illustrated book blends vintage layouts, Ministry-style notices, practical instruction, and real-life stories and photographs. You’ll uncover the plants, recipes, remedies, and resilience that helped Britain endure its darkest days—and might help you weather tomorrow. This is not just a history book—it’s a manual for uncertain times. ✦ FIELD MANUAL – WHAT YOU’LL LEARN INSIDE ✦ Sniff out over 100 wild foods —from nettles and dandelions to roots, berries, mushrooms, and more.
