Description

"Enchanting, breathtaking and beautiful... If you need me, I'll be in Storyland" - Ben Miller

ENTER A MAGICAL WORLD OF DRAGONS, GIANTS, HEROES AND MONSTERS RIGHT ON YOUR DOORSTEP . . .

You will have heard of Thor, Medusa and Hercules. But what about the myths of the British isles? The Trojan heroes who wrestled giants. The Syrian sisters who found safety. The dragons who slept in hollow hills. And the kings who talked to the dead . . .

In this vivid and beautifully illustrated mythology of Britain, children will discover tales of magic and adventure, giants and demons, princesses and prophecies.

Travelling across the wildest of landscapes - as far north as Orkney and south as Cornwall - young readers will build Stonehenge with the young Merlin, ride stags into the forests of Scotland, and sail with Trojans along the rivers of Britain, discovering a land steeped in myth, monsters and heroes.

This children's adaptation of Jeffs' bestselling Storyland, is a spell-binding adventure into Britain's lost myths and legends. With beautiful illustrations this is the perfect book for all the family.
About Amy Jeffs
Amy Jeffs is an art historian specialising in the Middle Ages. In 2019, she gained a PhD in Art History from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, having studied for earlier degrees at the Courtauld Institute of Art and the University of Cambridge. During her PhD Amy co-convened a project researching medieval badges and pilgrim souvenirs at the British Museum. She then worked in the British Library's department of Ancient, Medieval and Early Modern manuscripts. She is now based in Somerset as a full-time author and artist printmaker. Her first book, STORYLAND: A New Mythology of Britain, was a Sunday Times Bestseller. By offering it here as a children's book, she hopes to bring medieval stories to young readers, enabling them to populate a familiar landscape with goddesses, Trojans, giants, runaway servants and power-hungry kings.
