A collection of tales of the wild man of the woods, the mysterious figure known as Jack Green. Can folklore based fantasy, tales of morality and mischief, horror and crime fiction, sit comfortably side by side? “Green” answers that question with a collection of delightfully dark tales featuring the mysterious figure known, most often, as Jack Green. Is he a mystical wodewose, or a harmless hippie? Wandering hermit, or timeless reminder of the days before man’s blight reduced the good, green land to brick and concrete?
The character of Jack Green is very compelling. A forest dweller, wise man, one with the earth, the woods and the trees, he allows himself to become peripherally entangled with the lives of men and women who cross his path. There are stories here and poems, that follow the cycle of the year. He's a splendid creation of the sort you'd like to meet yourself, brimming with hope, wisdom and a cheeky humour. A great book.
