Books
Across space and time, people have always told stories to understand and celebrate the waterlands, forests and skies that make up our natural world. This fascinating collection of folklore bridges both continents and millennia to explore a diverse selection of myths and traditions, and to bring these tales to life, while highlighting how we are all connected through our shared hopes, fears and ways of rationalising the unknown. From the elusive creatures that glide beneath our waters to the enchanted beings of our forests and the spirits that inhabit the celestial realm, 'The treasury of folklore' takes a journey through the stories of the natural world that have been spoken and passed down through the generations.
