The Forest God by Jamie Lackey
4.0
The Forest God is an enchanting and quick-to-read retelling of the Celtic myth of sacred land marriage, in which a Witch's apprentice and a young Lord are torn between their desires and their duties while seeking to restore the bond between the land, its caretakers and the Forest God (embodied as a hare).
This folk tale was new to me, yet comfortingly familiar, and is equally suitable younger readers as well as adults. It would be particularly lovely to read out loud, in homage to the oral tradition of folklore.
