Description

An entertaining and enthralling collection of myths, tales, and traditions surrounding our trees, woodlands, and forests from around the world.

From the dark, gnarled woodlands of the north to the humid jungles of the southern lands, trees have captured humanity's imagination for millennia. Filled with primal gods and goddesses, dryads, and the fairy tales of old, the forests still beckon to us, offering sanctuary, mystery, and more than a little mischievous trickery. From insatiable cannibalistic children hewn from logs to lumberjack lore and the spine-chilling legend of Bloody Mary, there is much to be found between the branches. Come into the trees; witches, seductive spirits, and big, bad wolves await you.

With Treasury of Folklore: Woodlands and Forests, Folklore Thursday aim to encourage a sense of belonging across all cultures by showing how much we all have in common.
