'We can't look out for the land unless we love the land, and we can't love the land unless we know its stories.' Taffy Thomas MBE

This book is the third in a trilogy of nature-inspired volumes of folk tales by well-loved storyteller Taffy Thomas. Collected over many years spent travelling the length and breadth of the British Isles in his work as a professional storyteller, and told in his well-honed style, these traditional tales are engaging, entertaining, humorous and powerful. With captivating illustrations and a centre section of illustrated trails, this collection will reconnect readers to the land through story.



'In both traditional ballads and in myths and legends, the connection to the natural world and the land that humanity has worked for thousands of years, is undeniable. Our history, artistry, imagination, spirituality, community all run through the soil, the water, the rock; a life force. Taffy embodies all of that with his mastery of storytelling.'
