Woodland Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland
by Lisa Schneidau - £12.99 The History Press Ltd (2020)
hardback
ISBN 13: 9780750990110 | ISBN 10: 0750990112
Once upon a time, most of Britain and Ireland was covered in woodland. Many of the trees have been cleared, but our connection with the wildwood remains.
It is a place of danger, adventure and transformation, where anything could happen. Here is a collection of traditional folk tales of oak, ash and thorn; of hunting forests and rebellion, timber and triumph in battle, wild ghosts and woodwoses.
Lisa Schneidau retells some of the old stories and relates them to the trees and forests in the landscape of our islands today.
