A great blend of history and modern spiritual practices, but not as accurate with the folklore as I would prefer.

Every so often, p encounters a book like this that holds up a mirror to the soul. The lyrical prose, so beautifully complements the storyline and the characterization of Corrag. I feel as if she is a piece of me. The experience of this book was like getting to know a part of me lost in adulthood. I’m so very grateful it exists in the world and could not recommend it higher.

Arden’s authors note at the end of the book perfectly summarizes the macabre enchantment of the era, as does her story as it unfolds with beautiful horror. That said, know that there is plenty of heart and love and hope holding this poetic, historical tale together.

The incorporation of Russian folklore really brings the magical elements of this story to life.

Not only is this book full of amazing and valuable insight into the hidden world of mosses, but the narration by the author is very soothing and relaxing. I love working out in the garden and learning about the natural world around me at the same time. Thank you for such an amazing book!

Trevor and I are the same age, so I found his tales of growing up in South Africa fascinating in how different our lives were. An amazing insight into another part of the world told with humor, wit, and depth. I definitely recommend it to anyone.

This was a wonderful overview of what we know about the people we call the Celts and how they shaped modern France, Ireland, and the British Isles. I would love it if the Great Courses offered an update of a chapter or two every few years as we learn more!
