## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Pretty good
  

*by M***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2020*

It's pretty good at delivering what is advertises, a book ABOUT stories and myths of the forest, not a book OF stories of the forest (meaning, stories are briefly summarized).  It's an old, old book, republished recently, so it's written in dense sentence structure (meaning you can't speed read it), citation is just when the author felt like it.Oddly, the book reads like a series of papers about topics regarding the forest, there's no overall introduction, conclusion, or thesis, it's just an info dump.  Even the individual chapters don't have introductions and conclusions, they just cover info regarding the chapter's topic, then just end.  But, if you want to hear about interesting forest stories and about historical customs and traditions of forest worship throughout the world, it's a good book.  The scant citation really did irk me though, but at the time it was written that was more acceptable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A wonderful book IF the author had believed in the subject.
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2017*

Many short myths. Often only a paragraph long. I love the overview and summary of previous traditions. I really do not appreciate the statements that old cultures must have thought or believed or practiced certain things. That it is obvious that the progression followed certain preconceived patterns. I think that it is the common assumption that today's culture is better than cultures that lived in harmony with nature. Perhaps it is the assumption that ancient cultures did not understand nature or the physical laws or patterns that governed their world. A wonderful book IF the author had believed in the subject.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautifully written & hard to put down
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2017*

I'm a little annoyed at the reviews that state that this work is dry and boring.  This book was thrilling to read.  It's filled with myth and lore from around the globe and historical references to forests and trees and how they were venerated, feared, idolized in ages past.  The author has arranged his information in a way that links his references very cohesively and I know I'm going to be reading this book again and again.  Highly recommended!
