Traditional nature folklore can help us understand how our ancestors interacted with the world around them and allows us to view nature from a new perspective. Brought to life with folk art-inspired illustrations, Lore of the Wild inspires appreciation of different cultures, as well as an engagement with the beauty of the natural environment.
