PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

See nature in a whole new light with this enchantingly illustrated treasury of natural folklore and wild wisdom from around the world.

Did you know that people used to believe that rabbits’ ears would twitch in the direction of a thunderstorm? That lily of the valley flowers were formed from fairies’ drinking cups? And that taking dandelions into the house would make you wet the bed?

Traditional nature folklore can help us understand how our ancestors interacted with the world around them and allows us to view nature from a new perspective. Stunningly delicate and magical illustrations capture the magic and strangeness inherent in natural folklore, and cultures from around the world are represented in this comprehensive compendium.

In this book, discover the lore of:
An array of different animals, birds and insects
All types of flowers, plants and trees
The weather, sun, moon and stars
Good and bad omens, and lucky charms
Lore of the Wild inspires appreciation of different cultures, as well as an engagement with the beauty of the natural environment, and is a treasure trove of superstitions, ancient wisdom, and enchanting folktales.

Gorgeous Book

This book’s illustrations are beautiful. That’s what originally drew me in, but the little facts and stories are extremely interested. Bought this for my niece but I think I’m keeping it for myself !!

We. Are. Obsessed!

I bought the The Orchestra Swan Lake book for my little ballerina loving girl and a Swan Lake Maileg mouse and she LOVES them! We are first timers and we love the quality of the mouse and how adorably well made it is! I am buying more for her birthday!!

Great book

This book is so lovely. I bought it for my three year old and both my three year old and one year old girls love it. The buttons are hard to push for a child but ok for an adult. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is on the shorter side (a plus for our girls ages) but is told very well. Very happy with it!
