The Treasury of Folklore

An entertaining and enchanting collection of myths, tales, and traditions surrounding the seas, skies, and woodlands that make up our natural world.

Enter an enchanting world where the mysteries of the seas, skies, and woodlands come alive through shared myths, legends, and folk tales. From the majestic creatures that dance beneath the waves to the celestial beings that populate the heavens and the spirits that reside within the forests, The Treasury of Folklore offers a portal into the lore of the natural world that has been whispered through the generations.

In this mesmerising compendium, you'll embark on a journey through the rich tapestry of myths, legends, and tales that have been woven into the very fabric of our natural world. You'll tread mysterious waters and be beguiled by the sirens and sea monsters, soar to new heights with winged Pegasus, and uncover stories of celestial beings, from thunder gods to constellations that have guided travellers across the heavens. As you wander through the ancient woods, you'll encounter spirits between the branches, insatiable cannibalistic children hewn from logs, and the promise of the big, bad wolf.

The stories included here traverse countries and continents and have been carefully selected to highlight how humans are linked through time and place, with shared dreams, fears, and ways of rationalising the unknown. Immerse yourself in the tapestry of tales collected in these pages, each story a testament to the enduring enchantment of the seas, skies, and woodlands.
