BOOK REVIEW - Storyland: A New Mythology of Britain by Amy Jeffs
The second book I've read this year - I'm on fire!
To be fair, I had a travel-heavy weekend which helped with this one. Storyland is nonfiction, in that it's exploring the history of Britain, but it does so through the myths and legends which pervaded the island in medieval times, passed down orally until they were scribed in monasteries or written in now-crumbling scrolls.
Amy Jeffs skillfully weaves ancient tales into modern forms, exploring the role of women, religion, and ancestry in these stories, and how they shaped British image and the idea of Englishness in the dark ages. She also examines how Roman ruins factored into English myth - the tale of "Bath and the Fall of Bladud" making particularly poignant use of the ancient Roman baths which had faded by the late 800's.
The stories are all beautifully crafted, and Jeffs expands on them with commentary of the myths origins, its meaning, and at times the local geography she has journeyed to explore in researching these tales. Alongside each story is a beautiful, if abstract at times, printed illustration using later-period techniques Jeffs learned for her PhD and this book.
Storyland is a brief exploration of some of Britain's founding myths, skewed through a medieval Christian lens which gives context, aided by Jeffs's commentary, to an England with ideals of conquest attempting to unite its island under a single banner.

Much like @storybookland_nj back home, Story Land was a privately-run fairy tale park in Schellsburg, PA that closed in the 1980s. The 18' tall Pied Piper statue standing at the entrance is still there as an attention-getter on the edge of US 30, drawing folks to Piper's Place Country Originals, a crafts and plant store run by the daughter of the original owner! #roadsideamerica #storyland #fairytales #pipersplace (at Country Originals) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2oRpNO0LG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More Memories of the Storyland Bunny
More Memories of the Storyland Bunny
Sometimes people drop the nicest things in your mailbox. Last week I got a photo and a message from Pat McFarlane. Thanks Pat! It was all about the Storyland Bunny that sits in my yard.
Keep sending those memories in!!
The Storyland Bunny was a great joy to their family and visitors. John and her husband Richard ( Dick) met when we were all much younger before children at the Bank of Montreal.…
