An exploration of woodland folklore from across the globe, history and cultures. It can get long winded in places so keep that in mind. I’d still recommend.

This was a little different than I expected. Rather than just a collection of stories, the authors reference or briefly retell folklore and tales, with an emphasis on the way stories from around the world differ or are similar. There is an extensive bibliography in the back. There were a few random times where there's "editorializing" by the authors that felt out of place. It is a beautiful book with the woodcut stylized illustrations.
