Walking With the Green Man: Father of the Forest Spirit of Nature - Curran, Dr. Bob

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to upper spine; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; The image of the Green Man has both intrigued and mystified viewers and folklorists alike. Appearing in churches, taverns, and even on stately buildings, the carving seems shrouded in supernatural obscurity. In this absorbing book, Curran traces the many strands that make up this enigmatic image. He explores its significance in the medieval world and its development in the modern world. He also investigates the image's psychological appeal, and, drawing on a variety of sources, its impact on cultures throughout the world.
