El viaje artístico de Sheila comenzó en Italia en la década de 1960, trabajando junto a Franco Zeffirelli en teatro, cine y ópera, una experiencia que describe como su "educación" y que le abrió los ojos al mundo del arte y a la belleza que la rodeaba en Roma. Luego, pasó dos décadas revitalizando la histórica casa de perfumes Penhaligon's, lanzando nuevas fragancias y redefiniendo el mercado de los libros de regalo con antologías únicas y perfumadas. Inspirada por su trabajo en Florencia durante la inundación de 1966, Sheila comprendió el profundo valor del pasado y su influencia perdurable. Hoy en día, canaliza su chispa creativa y energía en el mundo de la joyería, creando una experiencia en línea del siglo XXI que destaca la inspiración y la procedencia.

With today's renewed interest in alternative medicine and herbal healing, many herbs are being rediscovered and put to use in the treatment of illness, in culinary preparations and as an aid to health and well-being. In this volume, the symbolic meanings that herbs held for the Victorians are explored, and the relevance of herbal remedies to modern-day life is examined.
