Told with narrative flair, embellished in stunning artworks and glossed with a rich and erudite commentary. We visit beautiful, sacred places that include prehistoric monuments like Stonehenge and Wayland's Smithy, spanning the length of Britain from the archipelago of Orkney to as far south as Cornwall in a vivid, beautiful tale of our land steeped in myth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eStoryland\u003c\/i\u003e, Jeffs reimagines these myths of homeland, exile and migration, kinship, loyalty, betrayal, love and loss in a landscape brimming with wonder.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003ci\u003eSTORYLAND\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Expressive, bold and quite beautiful' \u003ci\u003eThe Lady\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'[a] delight of a book' Antonia Senior, \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'ravishingly lovely' \u003ci\u003eThe Times Ireland\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'[a] lively retelling of British myths' \u003ci\u003eApollo Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39999107432545,"sku":"9781529408003","price":11.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27043921.jpg?v=1721462341","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781529408003-storyland-a-new-mythology-of-britain","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
