The Land of the Green Man

"The Land of the Green Man" by Carolyne Larrington delves into Britain's rich folkloric traditions, exploring the mysterious beings and mythologies that have shaped the nation's cultural history. Through an examination of liminal landscapes like saltmarshes and moorlands, the book reveals how stories of fairies, elves, and other supernatural creatures reflect human concerns such as love, loss, and change. Spanning regions from Shetland to Jersey, it invites readers to explore the wild, eerie places where myth and nature intertwine.
