Waterstones Says

From exploring Stonehenge with Merlin to riding stags in the forests of Scotland, this spellbinding volume adapts the Waterstones Book of the Year-shortlisted Storyland for younger readers, brimming with glorious myths and legends lurking in every corner of Britain.

You will have heard of Thor, Medusa and Hercules. But what about the myths of the British landscape? The Trojan heroes who wrestled giants. The Syrian sisters who found refuge on our lands. The dragons who slept in hollow hills. And the kings who communed with the dead.

In this vivid and beautifully illustrated mythology of Britain, children will discover enchanting tales of magic and adventure, giants and demons, princesses and prophecies.

Travelling across the wildest of landscapes - as far north as Orkney and south as Cornwall - young readers will build Stonehenge with the young Merlin, chase hounds up the mountains of Wales, ride stags into the forests of Scotland and sail with Trojans along the rivers of Britain, discovering a land steeped in myth, monsters and heroes.

Adapted from Amy Jeffs' beautiful and bestselling Storyland, this is a definitive and dynamic children's introduction to Britain's lost myths and legends.

This was my first introduction to Storyland by Amy Jeffs - I'd missed the book written for adults that has been adapted to make this version for children. However, I will be seeking it out as this book was... More
