A nice little book came in the mail, and for the first time I have the actual words (in the language he wrote, that is) of my patron saint. Thanks @grahamscheper & @UppsalaBooks—this looks great!

Inside the Medieval Garden: Poppies!
Walahfrid Strabo, author of "The Little Garden," had some interesting ideas about the etymology of "poppy."

Did you know that Uppsala Books published TWO books this year that contain the first English translations of works of medieval German literature?
One is "The Castle of Love: A Medieval German Allegorical Poem" - Winder McConnell's pioneering translation of the epic poem "Die Minneburg."
The other is "The Legend of Walther of Aquitaine" (trans. Brian Murdoch, ed. Leonard Neidorf), which contains the first English translations of various medieval German passages related to the Walther legend.
