I had been wanting to read this book for a while, so was happy when it came up in VPRO'S Club Lees. However, I have the feeling that the translation didn't live up to the original.
There was one strange thing. Cow Parsley was described as poisonous. But it isn't. Its close relatives are. I wonder if this was a mistake by the translator or the author?
