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

DREAM OF THE HEROES AND MONSTERS RIGHT ON YOUR DOORSTEP. THIS IS WHERE WE BEGAN. . .

You will have heard of Thor, Medusa and Hercules. But what about the myths of Britain? Have you heard of the powerful sisters who first lived on these isles? Or the Trojan heroes who wrestled giants? Perhaps you know about the dragons who slept in hollow hills? And the kings who could talk to the dead . . .

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

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

Adapted from Amy Jeffs' bestselling Storyland, this is a definitive children's introduction to Britain's lost myths and legends, and a beautiful, timeless gift.

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.
