[The Times] *** 'The immediacy with which the reality of the supernatural is conveyed is sometimes disturbing, sometimes presented with an almost twentieth-century surrealism and always compels a respect for the vitality of the medieval imagination.' [Lore and Language] ***'This book has opened up new avenues of research, not only into medieval man's understanding of nature, and into conceptions of death, rebirth and resurrection in the middle ages, but also into our concern today with ecology and our relationship with the green world. It is therefore a work of living scholarship and its reissue will be greatly and justly welcomed.' [William Anderson, author of "Green Man: The Archetype of our Oneness with the Earth"] [Quotes taken from the back cover] ***A later printing of the first UK paperback edition, published in 2000, with excellent plates throughout.
