Product Description

Explore 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, explore 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 delves 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 Mori 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 there is more to our natural world than meets the eye.

Lore of the Wild: Folklore and Wisdom from Nature

From School Library Journal

Gr 2-5-This anthology, filled with information about how folktales from around the world came to be, will delight those interested in legends and lore. The collection is broken into six habitats, and each begins with a story that takes place in the environment from somewhere in the world. Following the short legend, information about flora and fauna, details about mythical creatures, and some of the main mythology surrounding each habitat are shared. Text and illustrations, which fill the entire page, work in conjunction to create gorgeous spreads. The style of the illustration in combination with the text font, which resembles brushed hand lettering, gives the collection a warm, magical feel that works well with the subject matter.
