Told with narrative flair, embellished in stunning artworks and glossed with a rich and erudite commentary. We visit beautiful, sacred places that include prehistoric monuments like Stonehenge and Wayland's Smithy, spanning the length of Britain from the archipelago of Orkney to as far south as Cornwall in a vivid, beautiful tale of our land steeped in myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Storyland, Jeffs reimagines these myths of homeland, exile and migration, kinship, loyalty, betrayal, love and loss in a landscape brimming with wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePRAISE FOR STORYLAND\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Expressive, bold and quite beautiful' The Lady\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'[a] delight of a book' Antonia Senior, The Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'ravishingly lovely' The Times Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'[a] lively retelling of British myths' Apollo Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scribe \u0026 Sign","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56870797574409,"sku":"9781529408003","price":5.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/0845\/7481\/files\/9781529408003.jpg?v=1772983919","url":"https:\/\/scribe-sign.com\/products\/storyland-a-new-mythology-of-britain","provider":"Scribe \u0026 Sign","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
