Contents

  • The origins of the Green Man are not known. Was he powerful fertility figure or outcast 'thing of sorrow'? Or both? For nearly a thousand years his ravishing face has watched us through stone leaves in churches. Today he has become a cult figure, the ikon of the Green Movement.
  • In this book he is here and now: the shadow working in the coppice, the scarecrow brooding over the fields. At harvest time he bicycles to church. He possesses a cheque book. Yet he is in close contact with mermaids, disputes with Christ and the Devil in his orchard, visits the moon. He is dangerously attractive to women.
