Beautiful and colorfully illustrated, this marvelous book tells of the beliefs of many peoples which center around the natural world. It is divided into logical groupings and relates the good and bad luck properties and origin stories of much of the world. I think it would be very affirming to those learning ESL and would also strengthen their vocabularies. In the home or school it is a great Read Together vehicle. BUT. I did find the print rather small in the ebook. Some of us who are accustomed to reading things at angles (and upside down!) at work will be very comfortable with this aspect of the positioning of paragraphs on pages with multiple tales. I LOVED IT! I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Wide Eyed Editions, via NetGalley. Thank you! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Lore of the Wild delves into traditional nature folklore from around the world, revealing the influence of trees, plants, insects, birds, animals and weather on daily life. Did you know that people used to believe that rabbits' ears would twitch in the direction of a thunderstorm? That lily of the valley flowers were formed from fairies' drinking cups? And that taking dandelions into the house would make you wet the bed? Traditional nature folklore can help us understand how our ancestors interacted with the world around them and allows us to view nature from a new perspective. Brought to life with folk art-inspired illustrations, Lore of the Wild inspires appreciation of different cultures, as well as an engagement with the beauty of the natural environment.
Delves into nature folklore from around the world in six topical categories, featuring for each category one traditional tale and extensive ancient lore about that topic. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Interesting folklore from multiple cultures. Mostly short facts for each category with a few 1-2 page stories scattered throughout. Nice illustrations. A fun book to own so you can reference good luck/bad luck wisdoms. ( )
