5.0 out of 5 stars Charming, 3 Sep 2002
By M. Gay "Stormbird" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For anyone interested in pagan subjects the Green Man is always there.
In this book by Harding you won't find much detail except, in the beautiful photographs taken by the author himself (or loaned by friends) of a great variety of heads from all around the world.
A must have little book.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent & informative, 23 Oct 2006
By weatherwitch (Lost in the woods of Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
This small, compact hardback book is aimed to show the hidden world of the Green Man in the churches of Britain, Ireland & Europe & is neither biased towards Christian or Pagan interpretations of the Green Man. Priced very low for a hardback book, it is jammed with snippets of information & really is an absolute must.

Every other page has a full size colour picture with the explanatory page opposite also being interspersed with small colour pictures. Mike Harding, probably best known to most as a stand-up comic & for his Radio 2 folk music show has spent over 25 years searching for the Green Man both in Britain & elsewhere around the world.

Images shown are discussed within their context & tales of mythology & folklore are recounted as well. The Green Man appears on roof bosses, on pillars, on bench ends, misericords & in Borneo in church wall paintings. His spread is far yet his image remains essentially the same. The very unusual Green Man depicted as actually wearing jewellery by having a sun wheel around his neck at St Bartholomew's in Much Marcle is also featured in this book.

Whether you have just a vague interest in the Green Man or are a more serious student of his background, this is a book that you will surely want in your collection, you won't regret buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little book, 14 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This is great book, I especially like the way that Mike has taken all the pictures of the Green Man himself, not only is he a great playwright, singer, rambler and historian, but he's a good photographer too.
