How did humankind first set foot on these islands? What forces shaped the woods and the vast wild sky? How did the earth beneath them even begin? The legends of pre-Christian Britain might be lost, but their traces are there to be discovered: in stories, folklore and archaeology, we can hear echoes of beliefs as profound, as exhilarating and as ancient as the myths of Greece or Egypt.

Storyteller Jon Mason shares old tales from Wales, Ireland, and further afield, drawing on mediaeval manuscripts and modern discoveries. Heroes, magicians and the shadows of gods abound, as we piece together the possibilities of an origin myth as old as the forests and hills.
