An evocative journey into early medieval Britain, where myth and wilderness intertwine - brought to life by Amy Jeffs' original linocut art.
Step into the wilderness of early medieval Britain with Wild, a captivating collection of myths, legends, and reimagined tales from the sixth to tenth centuries. From storm-lashed coasts and haunted fens to enchanted forests and ancient barrows, these stories and poems illuminate a world both beautiful and brutal, filled with monsters, miracles, and moments of hope. Written and illustrated by Amy Jeffs, bestselling author, medievalist, and art historian, Wild brings a fresh voice to Old English, Welsh, Irish, and Latin sources. Each tale is paired with Jeffs' striking original linocut engravings, whose bold, timeless forms echo the drama of the landscapes and characters they depict. Accessible, atmospheric, and beautifully illustrated, Wild is a celebration of the natural world through the lens of Britain's oldest stories. For readers drawn to folklore, history, or the restorative power of myth, it offers an unforgettable journey into the roots of our relationship with wilderness.Author Biography
