WIN $150 GIFT VOUCHERS: ALADDIN'S GOLD
Karin Celestine lives in a small house in Monmouth, Wales. In her garden there is a shed and in that shed is another world. The world of Celestine and the Hare. Karin taught children about art, chemistry, numbers, crafts and magic, but she was always drawn back to the Shed, where she brings to life creatures of all kinds using only wool, observation and the power of imagination.
Featuring hand-drawn artwork by Tamsin Rosewell and notes on traditional UK solstice myths by Pamela Thom-Rowe. The midwinter solstice provides the focal point for a journey by the little creatures as they seek to return light to earth, but it is a journey that begins at a time when the Mari Lwyd walks the villages and Wassail songs are sung in the orchards. Made up of two key parts, this book contains the story of The Lightbringers and a brief introduction to the myth and legend surrounding the season and festivals of midwinter. Suitable for readers of all ages. -- Publisher: Graffeg
