Product Description

Product Description
'Achingly beautiful...this is a wise, funny and mythical fable whose protagonist is part picaresque eco-hero, part shadow of a country life lost. Mary Fedden's earthy renditions lodge in the brain: images of a leaf-clad one with a mermaid under each arm, or sharing Worcester Pearmains with the devil.' Country Living

About the Author
Mary Fedden, OBE and Royal Academician, is one of Britain's finest contemporary artists. She is famous for her glorious use of colour and strong, simple themes. Now in her eighties, she continues to paint with great creativity and her new work is always a highlight of the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition. Her paintings hang in both the Tate Gallery and at Windsor Castle.

4.0 out of 5 stars a perfect partnership between author & illustrator, 3 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Royal Academician Mary Fedden's haunting and evocative paintings are the perfect backdrop to Jane Gardham's fresh adaptation of the Green Man legend. This slim and elegant hardback is a perfect gift which appeals to both adulds and children.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not at all what it seemed to be, 11 Jul 2000
By A Customer
If you are interested in finding out proper facts about the origins of the green man, this is not the book for you. It is a ridiculous modern story based on the green man legend, not a factual examination of the history and origins of the green man as I had expected it to be from the synopsis. It reads like a childrens story, "The gold and rose coloured autumn is gone and in November comes the rain and the Green man's twelve sons in a minibus." If this is what you want then buy it.
