Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Robinson, Sherry (illustrator). The stories in this collection have slipped on a sunbeam, skidded on the dew and sprinted fast as a fox to be here with you. Of course, theyre true, puffed on to the page with a hint of lavender and a gust of sage. They tell of Sussex: its sparkling seas; chalk giants; wise witches and crossdressing smugglers. Once youve heard them, youll know that when leaves skitter, its Puck, the sprite of Sussex, fighting with his sister the Fairy Queen. When you hear laughter in the forest, its Flint, the phantom highwayman making his escape, and when you run over the Downs, youll remember they were shaped by the Devils buttocks. These tales specially chosen for the enjoyment of 7- to 11-year-old readers sparkle with magic and explode with adventure. Not only will children love to read them, or listen to them being read, these stories will also stimulate an interest in the county and help children engage with their own surroundings. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Robinson, Sherry (illustrator). Hardcover. Stories about healing herbs and the deities associated with them. Herba Mythica is a compendium of myths, legends and folk tales celebrating the power of herbs and plants. A range of different contributors from across the world of storytelling have come together to tell these ancient stories, here gathered in one special volume beautifully illustrated by Sherry Robinson and edited by Xanthe Gresham-Knight. From the potions of Medea to the intoxicant pinecones of Dionysus, plants have been used to enchant and heal since the beginning of time. Deities embody wind, wave, earth and sky. Herbs and plants allow us to ingest that energy of the gods. Seeds are carried on the wind or carefully cultivated. Similarly, myths find their soil in the psyche and take root. The result is always flowers and fruits. AUTHOR: Xanthe Gresham-Knight tours internationally and has been Storyteller in Residence for The Chelsea Physic Garden, Harvard University, Psychologies Magazine, Hastings Storytelling Festival, Stoke and Staffordshire Libraries and have received numerous commissions from The British Museum and The Smithsonian. She has performed at major UK Literature Festivals including Hay and Cheltenham and has created 8 performance art shows for adults on different Goddesses for venues including The Barbican, National and Soho Theatres. 30 colour, 150 b/w illustrations Herba Mythica is a compendium of myths, legends and folk tales celebrating the power of herbs and plants, from a range of different contributors from across the world of storytelling. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Add to basketHardback. Condition: New. Robinson, Sherry (illustrator). Stories are spells. Healers have long recognised the need to travel to psychic realms, from heaven to Hesperides, to effect cures. Ancient medicinal manuscripts pair myth and magical incantation with instruction on how to dig up roots, make salves and concoct tinctures.Herba Mythica draws on this tradition and is a handbook for story-lovers and herbalists alike. Acclaimed storytellers from around the world choose plants that reflect their heritage or specialism, and notes on plant origins, symbolism and healing properties complement each tale.Mythology suggests that every bush, every flower is a deity who mirrors the healing action of the plant: Hecate is the hypnotic Poppy, Osiris the oracular Laurel and Tara the regenerative Lotus. And in folk tales, there are Willow fathers, Hawthorn mothers and brides who marry trees.Throughout, Sherry Robinson's characterful drawings capture the light and shade of each plant, reminding us of their power to kill or cure.
