A story journey through the growing year, with folk tales of the land and the wild trees and plants that surround us through the seasons, in countryside, town and city.
A lot has been written about modern and historical British plant folklore. Most of this is fragmented: for example, we know that the elder tree has always been associated with witchcraft, or that nettles should be grasped by the stem. I’ve searched for the traditional tales about our plants, and how their stories are intertwined with ours.
I’d like this book to be a valuable resource for experienced and new storytellers alike, and for it to be used in the field by environmental education organizations and practitioners such as Wildlife Trusts and Forest School. These stories are part of our heritage; what better than to share them, telling them in the wilds, surrounded by the plants themselves?
We only deliver to UK addresses.
