Book Description
"The associations in this book have been tested by me over the past 15 years. Some have been accidental observations which I have followed up; others have been folklore I have tested. Several associations discovered through current research in Europe, the USA and New Zealand, I have observed in Australia as well. The last five years seem to have been mostly spent on counting insects and measuring new shoots. But I hope it is at least a basis for companion planting that works in Australia and New Zealand. Scientific names have been included only where one plant might otherwise be confused with another." -- Taken from the Introduction.

Book 2 in the Animal Stars series - where history comes alive through the eyes of special animals. To outsiders, Mary is a queen and a threat, but to her devoted dog Folly, she is his world To the world outside her luxurious prison, Mary Queen of Scots was either a shameless beauty who killed her husband, or the rightful Queen of England and Scotland, tragically held captive by Elizabeth I. But to the dog who loved her, Mary was simply his mistress, and the centre of his world. While Mary desperately plotted to seize both her freedom and the throne, her dog Folly's world is one of chasing mice behind the tapestries and enjoying turkey legs with quinces for supper. Until the day comes when they try to take his Queen away ... Based on the true story of the dog who was with Mary when she died, the Dog Who Loved a Queen is a fascinating tale of religious bigotry, plots and passion - and the unquestioning loyalty of a small Scottish terrier.
