Folk Tales of the Land is the third in a trilogy of nature-inspired volumes of folk tales by well-loved storyteller Taffy Thomas. Collected over many years spent travelling the length and breadth of the British Isles as a professional storyteller, and told in his well-honed style, these traditional tales are engaging, entertaining, humorous and powerful. From lakes holding ancient secrets and forests teeming with fairy folk to menacing marshlands and caves hiding elusive dragons, discover the tales resting beneath this ancient land. With captivating illustrations and trail maps to guide readers across our storyteller's local area, this collection will reconnect readers to the land through story. `We can't look out for the land unless we love the land, and we can't love the land unless we know its stories.' - Taffy Thomas MBE
