About this listen

The islands of Britain and Ireland hold a rich heritage of plant folklore and wisdom, from the magical yew tree to the bad-tempered dandelion. Here are traditional tales about the trees and plants that shape our landscapes and our lives through the seasons. They explore the complex relationship between people and plants, in lowlands and uplands, fields, bogs, moors, woodlands and towns.

Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland is just marvellous. It's so easy to listen too and I was sad when it ended (and surprised at how fast it went)! I love Lisa's style of storytelling and I enjoyed that she gave a bit of introduction and history before each tale. Also loved Joan's narration which helped bring the stories to life. Very easy listening - chill, quirky and short and sweet.

Loved these stories. Soothing and engaging folk tales that keep the age old art of story telling alive. Feels like it could be my grandmother reading them to me of an evening.

I appreciate the narrator's voice, very imaginative. And I always had to imagine the beautiful scenery of Great Britain nature.

Beautiful and warm stories and legends from the past
