Description

Woodland Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland by Lisa Schneidau The wildwood of Britain and Ireland once covered most of the land, its trees a place of danger, adventure and transformation. Though many have been cleared, our connection to the wild remains. This collection of traditional folk tales retells stories of oak, ash and thorn, hunting forests, rebellion, timber and triumph in battle, wild ghosts and woodwoses. Lisa Schneidau weaves these old stories together with the trees and forests of our modern landscape. The result is a unique and fascinating exploration of the natural world and the people who have lived within it. With 192 pages of retold tales and stories, this book offers a fresh perspective on the traditional folklore of Britain and Ireland.
