TELLING THE SEASONS: STORIES CELEBRATIONS AND FOLKLORE (HB)

A colourful guide to how and why we continue to celebrate the seasons. Here are myths of the sun and moon, tales of walking stones and talking trees, and legends of elemental spirits. Original drawings, sayings, songs, recipes and rhymes combine in a ‘spell-book’ of the seasons. Martin Maudsley tells tales around the year to children and adults, specialising in stories of the natural world and local landscapes. He can be found leading celebrations from firelit winter wassails to bright May Day mornings in rural Dorset where he lives.
