Collection of spells and charms by Christine Webb writing as Zingarella H. under another of her Mountain View imprints, Apasavello Press, possibly produced independently of Shelton Lea during one of the periods of separation occasioned by his recurring “alcoholidays”, as Webb and Lea called them. Diana Georgeff’s biography of Lea records that their garden there was given over largely to herbs and useful plants, and that Webb was fully occupied making tinctures, compounds and extracts; Lea called her the best herbalist in Australia. Unrecorded in Trove.
