The Enchanted Land Janet & Colin Bord Ancient folklore, myths and legends tell how our landscape features - hills and mountains, caves and hollows, and springs and wells - came into being. Here are tales of Giants, Monsters, Fairies and Dragons... all bringing a little magic to our history. This is a fascinating guide to the legends and myths of the land, with many photographs - an essential companion for all who have an interest in ancient folklore. Enchantment and legend survive in hills, rivers, caves, springs and wells, cliffs, lakes, and stones. The stories of these places concern sleeping knights, King Arthur, beheaded saints, dragons and monsters, ghosts, giants, mermaids, witches, hidden treasure, drowned towns, mysterious footprints, Fairyland, underground passages, human sacrifices, and more.
