LAND OF THE GREEN MAN (PB)

Have you seen Jack-in-the-Green? Beyond its housing estates and identikit high streets there is another Britain: a country of wraith-like fog banks, druidic mistletoe and peculiar creatures that lurk, half-unseen, in the undergrowth, tantalising and teasing at the periphery of human vision. In her sparkling new history, Carolyne Larrington explores the diverse ways in which a myriad of imaginary and fantastical beings has moulded identity, psyche, and cultural history in Britain.
