She had been a well-known actress on Broadway. But that was ten years ago and after the sudden death of her producer husband, in her own words, “too old to be an ingénue and not talented enough to be a leading lady,” Sydney Reardon turned to decorating in London. She was enjoying a glamorous fast-paced life. And when her beautiful young cousin Kimberleigh Brennan comes for a visit they go off to Ireland with suave art exporter Ian Hardwicke and the critic friend Henry James. But the anticipated amusing weekend turns terrifying when they become involved with a little green man and theft, smuggling, a gangster—and murder. “Smoothly written and absolutely engaging from first page to last, this book is a mystery buff’s delight.” —The Midwest Book Review

Mankind has given a recognizable face to the awesome and impalpable forces of nature in the image of the Green Man and the nature spirits that this book explores. The ways in which different societies and different craftsmen have depicted these spirits display the wide creative range of the human imagination, but the persistence of the theme suggests that in all their many facets these spirits represent a deep, primordial sense that humans have shared since civilization began. For the very origin and message of these images have remained the same, even if somewhat altered over time. Traditional customs from around the world, from the rites that celebrate spring and egg on the forces of fertility to folk health remedies and the use of talismans to ward off illness and other evils, show some surprising similarities and hint at the shared origins of human culture. Even though the original significance of many customs has been lost or diluted, they still hold an appeal and many towns even today are re-introducing seasonal fairs to recreate the link between man and nature. Varner presents examples, ancient and new, from Europe and Asia, East Coast and West, and identifies in particular the different guises of the Green Man who has figured in architecture since before the advent of Christianity and still makes his appearance today, peering out from behind his leaves on California banks and New York brownstone houses.

Almost since the dawn of time, the image of the Green Man—the carven enigmatic head surrounded by leaves and foliage—has both intrigued and mystified viewers and folklorists alike. Appearing in churches, taverns, and even on stately buildings, the carving seems shrouded in supernatural obscurity. Is it merely a fertility symbol, or is it something much deeper, which calls for a response from us all? Though it seems a predominantly Celtic icon, does the concept of the Green Man also appear in other places and in other cultures? What is its relevance for the world today? In an absorbing new book, Dr. Bob Curran traces the many strands that make up this enigmatic image. Tracing its origins from prehistoric times, he explores its significance in the medieval world and discusses its development in the modern world. He also investigates the image’s psychological appeal, which has allowed it to continue down through the ages, and, pulling from a variety of sources, its impact upon other cultures in various parts of the world. From heroic archetypes such as Robin Hood to Demigods such as Herne the Hunter; from the King of the Woods to the Jack in the Green, Walking With the Green Man examines the interconnection of man and Nature throughout history. Whether as a man amongst the trees, a man of the trees, or a symbol of Nature used to express secrets and solidarity, the Green Man’s visage is traced throughout lands and cultures. Walking With the Green Man will appeal to all those who are interested in the image of the Green Man as an example of symbolic art, as well as to those who are interested in folklore and the interplay between folklore and culture. It is a fascinating study, which not only examines the history of the icon but also its development within human perception.

Insightful and filled with perspective, this book reveals one mans personal experience and views about Ireland. In this riveting page-turner, author Przemek Kolasinski presents his colorful depiction of this country in a deeply subjective manner. Stimulating and engaging, What I Got from Ireland creatively describes the people, places and events encountered by a keen and meticulous observer. Also, etched within the pages of this book is the comparison between two closely-resembling cultures that co-exist within the land, the Irish and the Poles. All of the locations mentioned in this selection were personally visited by the author and the contributed stories were from his close acquaintances and friends, for whom Kolasinski knows by first and last names. This book is, the author highly emphasizes, not a guide of Ireland. Rather it is a mere portrayal of his journey, perceived by his own senses, and processed by his own mind. Nonetheless, the world featured here is real, shown with a little dose of sarcasm that blends well with the some hilarious and bizarre situations and events. As readers will browse through the exhilarating pages of What I Got from Ireland, they will inevitably feel the energies of the vivacious characters, as well as watch vividly the painted images of breathtaking locations in their imaginative minds eye, hence allowing them to travel, without leaving the comforts of their own homes. They will also get an up-close and personal glimpse of the situations of the Poles living in Ireland, along with the ambiguities of their everyday life filled with joy and sorrow, triumphs and tragedies, pleasures and pains as opposed to the stereotypical presentations by the Polish media. Engaging, this intellectual, entertaining and beautifully-crafted literary masterpiece is indeed ones front-row-seat ticket to an exciting journey, through the eyes of an articulate writer, a talented humorist and a gifted artist of life.
