Book Synopsis Tales of the Old Woodlanders by : Valerie Porter
Book excerpt: With their unique crafts and traditions, our woodlands and forests have long held a deep fascination for lovers of the countryside. For centuries men and women have made a living there, but now this way of life is increasingly under pressure from the modern world. Val Porter here records the memories of such sturdy woodland characters, often stretching back to the days of their forefathers. These vivid accounts are bound together by tales from the archives, from beyond living memory: stories of adder-catchers, of gypsies, of fairy children in the forest, and of mythical woodlanders.
