Even though the book in this set is only 64 pages long, don’t think for a minute that it doesn’t include tons of lore and trivia of the Green Man. John Matthews does an excellent job of teaching us about the Green Man through the ages. We see how he began and how he still lives on today.The final section of the book is full of fantastic ideas on how to celebrate the Green Man, whether at home, office, group ceremonies, garden; plus a breath-taking walking meditation where you are surely to feel the presence of the Green Man. There is also a detailed list of all the Green Men found in construction and architecture around the world. Read more
