Funnily enough, I've just finished The Stones are Hatching. I am another fan of the Green Man, and used a version of him in Hootcat Hill--in his wild, primitive Cernunnos incarnation.

A few years ago the British Fantasy Society produced a calender based on the legend, with twelve different writers and artists telling the story through the 12 months of the year... I still have my calendar and always think of the Green Man when I look at it.Katherine Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196712319655603442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-77280265908787362342010-06-26T10:10:51.505+01:002010-06-26T10:10:51.505+01:00What a fascinating post, Ellen - the Green Man is ...What a fascinating post, Ellen - the Green Man is such an evocative character and symbol.

How very lovely of you! I too am a big fan of Dogsbody, loved The Stones are Hatching, and HAVE TO GET anything by Jane Gardam I haven't already read, especially about green men! Charlie, I want your book too. Some happy reading ahead of me!<br /><br />But the sheela-na-gig... there's a challenge...Katherine Langrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529700103932422873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-3289646685343056252010-06-25T16:10:12.878+01:002010-06-25T16:10:12.878+01:00Hi Charlie, thanks for those.

I thought I'd read all of Susan Cooper's so am delighted to hear of one I don't know. And will definitely look yours out - great title! Yes, the green man fascinates me.

Have you...Nice to see another Green Man aficionado! Have you read Susan Cooper's <i>Green Boy</i>? It ends with a marvellous evocation of the Green Man, I think. Also well worth a look are Geraldine McCaughgrean's <i>The Stones are Hatching</i>, Jane Gardam's sad and lyrical <i>The Green Man</i> and - ahem - my own <i>Death of a Ghost</i>.<br /><br />Not so many children's books based on the SheelaNaGig, mind...Cathy Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838615971611193743noreply@blogger.com
