[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Britain is always worth a visit when you're interested in myths and legends. Here we are introduced to many proper hills and mountains, rivers and streams., caves and hollows (e.g. King Arthur), springs and wells, cliffs and coasts, pools and lakes, rocks and stones. A great black and white photo/illustration and an overview on places to visit round off that excellent book. Highly recommended!

[Winnie Thornton · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reads like a slap-dash (and skeptical) rough-draft, but this is a good intro to a lot of stories which I believe were probably mostly true-ish.
