Reviews
The author of The Seeing Stone brings us these wonderful folk tales from all over Britain. This tape gives you ten stories of legends and enchantment from the book The Magic Lands. It includes the poetic Butterfly Soul; the amusing Mare's Eggs; Mossycoat, a version of the Cinderella story; The Baker's Daughter, which teaches a good lesson; the unusual tale of a seal made human in The Sea Woman; the Welsh story of The Three Blows; and Three Heads of the Well, where kindness is well rewarded.
'Kevin Crossley-Holland is in top form retelling these tales from across Britain, both in the writing and the narration, and he is brilliantly assisted by actors James Macpherson and Patience Tomlinson'
