Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland door Lisa Schneidau

Oral tales always suffer a bit when translated to text, in my opinion. These stories, while charming enough, fall into that pattern.

Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland door Lisa Schneidau

A magical collection of short stories that all have to do with plants in one way or another. The author re-wrote the old folk tales and for the most part I think she did a good job. There were a few that ended abruptly, but I'm sure that those particular tales were sparse to begin with.

Woodland Folk Tales door Lisa Schneidau

I enjoyed the previous book, Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland , more. This book was fun though. I don’t read a lot of short stories and I think I was getting tired of them by the end.

Woodland Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland door Lisa Schneidau

This is an excellent collection of forest- and tree-themed folktales. Schneidau's retellings are fresh, lively, and accessible, often seasoned with a dash of light humour. Some of these tales were ones I had read before, but most were new to me. The short introductions to each tale and group of tales are also well worth reading, as they connect the traditional stories to modern ecological and environmental concerns. I think that this book and Schneidau's Botanical Folk Tales are among my favourite collections of fairy and folk tales. Highly recommended.… (meer)
