Summary

Storyland offers a rich tapestry of Britain’s earliest legends—from Creation and the giants to Arthur, Brutus, and the Norman Conquest. Amy Jeffs reimagines medieval tales with narrative flair, placing them within the landscapes that birthed them. Each myth is paired with her original linocut illustrations and erudite commentary, grounding fantastical narratives in real-world settings like Stonehenge, Tintagel, Snowdon, and the Thames.
