Description

Step into the tangled lanes and wide skies of England, where church bells drift over village greens, forests remember the tread of outlaws and kings, and old stone hengeskeep their counsel. Tales From The Land Of Hope & Glory gathers together a rich collection of English folktales, fairy tales, myths and legends, stories fi rst told by hearth and home to teach, to warn, to delight, and to keep memory alive.
This new, revised and adapted edition celebrates the breadth and strangeness of England's storytelling tradition. Within these pages you will meet clever youngest sons and stubborn daughters, haunted knights and canny hedgewitches, giants of the fens and dragons of the downs, saints, sinners, tricksters and ghosts. These are tales rooted in field and forest, shore and city, shaped by humour and hardship, and bound by a quiet, enduring sense of wonder.
In these English tales you can hear the shared song of humanity, the same hopes, fears and longings that echo through the oldest stories of every land. Tales From The Land Of Hope & Glory reminds us that storytelling is both inheritance and promise; a way of holding fast to who we have been while imagining who we might yet become. Open the book, and let the voices of England speak once more across the years.
