Beyond its housing estates and identikit high streets there is another Britain. This is the Britain of mist-drenched forests and unpredictable sea-frets: of wraith-like fog banks, druidic mistletoe and peculiar creatures that lurk, half-unseen, in the undergrowth, tantalising and teasing just at the periphery of human vision. How have the remarkably persistent folkloric traditions of the British Isles formed and been formed by the identities and psyches of those who inhabit them? In her sparkling new history, Carolyne Larrington explores the diverse ways in which a myriad of imaginary and fantastical beings has moulded the cultural history of the nation. Fairies, elves and goblins here tread purposefully, sometimes malignly, over an eerie, preternatural landscape that also conceals brownies, selkies, trows, knockers, boggarts, land-wights, Jack o'Lanterns, Barguests, the sinister Nuckleavee, or water-horse, and even Black Shuck: terrifying hell-hound of the Norfolk coast with eyes of burning coal.
Focusing on liminal points where the boundaries between this world and that of the supernatural grow thin those marginal tide-banks, saltmarshes, floodplains, moors and rock-pools wherein mystery lies the author shows how mythologies of Mermen, Green men and Wild-men have helped and continue to help human beings deal with such ubiquitous concerns as love and lust, loss and death and continuity and change. Evoking the Wild Hunt, the ghostly bells of Lyonesse and the dread fenlands haunted by Grendel, and ranging the while from Shetland to Jersey and from Ireland to East Anglia, this is a book that will captivate all those who long for the wild places: the mountains and chasms where Gog, Magog and their fellow giants lie in wait.

Has Kojic acid and can be used daily without drying skin
One of my favorite products ever. I highly recommend this especially if you have dry skin. I find that using hyaluronic acid can sometimes make my skin even dryer and this has Kojic acid in it which gave me the ability to use it daily without drying my skin. It gives your skin a beautiful glow like you've put honey on your face. I absolutely love this product!

Get it!! You won't regret it
I don't know what to say but if you are considering buying this,do so... I've been using it a little bit over a week and to be honest I have used all kinds of makeup and lotions and I was never impressed even with experience brands, This stuff I'm already noticing a difference in wrinkles and it's so soothing. Just buy it and try it for yourself, I'll definitely be buying more
