Retellings of six folk tales - strange and haunting stories, set in isolated communities inland and by the sea, where insiders stick together and outsiders are regarded with suspicion.
Six strange and haunting stories, set in isolated communities inland and by the sea, where insiders stick together, and outsiders - a girl outlawed for her illegitimate child, a wild man who walks out of the sea - are regarded with suspicion. This little collection brings together some of Kevin Crossley-Holland's finest and most admired retellings, including the three best-known of all, The Green Children, Sea-Tongue and The Wild Man. Linked by ideas about exile and displacement, they make a thought-provoking book for our times, beautifully presented with line drawings by a notable artist.
