The stories in this anthology are ripe with magic of new beginnings and will change the way you look at life, forever. Psychologist Carl Jung once suggested that an archetype will reappear in a new form to redress imbalances in society exactly when it is needed. Perhaps the Green Man is rising yet again just in time to help us cultivate a harmonious and sustainable relationship with Nature. Your imagination will run wild. The vibrant stories presented in this anthology are all new and original. With an introduction by Charles de Lint The Urban Green Man is a large anthology of urban and contemporary short literature; from an international cast of authors.
