The Land of the Green Man: A Journey Through the Supernatural Landscapes of the British Isles by Carolyne Larrington
A delightful book of myths and folklore from all parts of the British Isles.
Stories of the Green Man, maiden eating dragons and boggarts to name but a few!
I encourage anyone to use this book to find and get to know their own mythical neighbours!
Highly recommended.
I received this digital book from the publisher via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review which I am very happy to do.
