This is a thoroughly delightful collection of tales drawn together to reflect the natural changes over the course of a year and to show how deeply ingrained the natural world really is in our culture and heritage, including those well stories that we don't immediately associate with the natural world such as Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk. Scheidau captures the essence of each story beautifully introducing each season and linking it with the old ways of the land as well as the plants that were and are still key around these periods. I can see me coming back to this collection whenever I need a reminder of why I do what I do and need to reconnect with the natural world.
