Storyland: A New Mythology of Britain

Step into a reimagined world where the British landscape is a vast tapestry of epic myths and forgotten legends.

Before the Romans arrived, Britain was a land of giants, Trojans, and goddesses. In this Sunday Times bestseller, Amy Jeffs breathes life into the ancient origin stories of the British Isles, taking readers on a journey through history that blends the medieval with the primordial. From the founding of Britain by the exiled Brutus to the mystical construction of Stonehenge, these tales are rooted in the very earth, rivers, and mountains we walk today.

Arranged chronologically from the Mesolithic to the arrival of the Saxons, each story is accompanied by Jeffs' own striking linocut illustrations. The result is a hauntingly beautiful and scholarly exploration of the stories that shaped the British imagination, making it a definitive modern classic for anyone who wishes to see the landscape through a mythical lens.
