Unearth the secrets of our natural world with The Lore of the Land,
a richly illustrated compendium of folklore and wisdom from the
land, skies and seas. From thundering rivers to shady groves,
flickering marshes to lightless caves, and from snow-capped
mountains to the depths of the ocean, discover the folklore of
Earth's wildest places. Stories and spirits abound in these land-
and seascapes, where traditional wisdom and mysterious magics have
intertwined over centuries. Each of the six chapters covers a
different natural landscape, revealing the worldwide folklore
surrounding Woodlands, Seas & Oceans, Wetlands, Mountains,
Rivers & Streams and Hills & Caves. Beginning with tales
from cultures spanning the globe, each chapter then dives into the
legends of how these places were formed, their place in the human
imagination and their natural and otherworldly denizens. Learn how
the forests hold up the sky in Maori tradition; how in Ireland,
seaweed was once thought to predict the weather; and that the
ancient Greeks believed Mount Etna housed the fiery forge of the
gods. All this and more is accompanied by beautiful artwork based
on real folklore, uncovering the secrets of our natural world as
never before. A treasury of fascinating tales and ancient wisdom,
The Lore of the Land is sure to fire the imaginations of young
nature-lovers, and delight anyone who has ever wondered whether
