River Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland by Lisa Schneidau

Rivers and streams sculpt our landscape, and have connected our communities throughout history, from mountain to estuary and to the wide sea beyond. They give us water and food, trade and transport – yet they have a life-force all of their own.

In this collection of traditional folk tales from wild rivers, lakes, and streams, Lisa Schneidau retells old stories of danger and transformation, of river goddesses, ghosts and the mysterious creatures that dwell in the watery arteries of Britain and Ireland.

LISA SCHNEIDAU is a professional storyteller. She tells traditional and contemporary stories that inspire, provoke curiosity, and build stronger connections between people and nature. Lisa trained as an ecologist. She has worked with wildlife charities all over Britain to restore nature in the landscape, in roles including farm advisor, river surveyor, political lobbyist and conservation director. She lives on Dartmoor.
