The Girl Green as Elderflower

Crispin Clare, returning to his ancestral home in East Anglia after a tropical illness, finds his reality increasingly intertwined with local folklore and myth. As he navigates his fever dreams and his writing, the boundary between fantasy and reality begins to blur. Randolph Stow weaves a richly imaginative story exploring themes of illness, family, and legend, set against a landscape populated by figures from old English myths and Clare’s contemporary world.
