“I think what’s coming is a bottleneck that a lot of species won’t come through—but what will come through is still up to us. So humans will probably come through it…feral pigeons…red foxes…rats. But if you want swifts, even blackbirds…, then that’s the work we have to do now.”

The traffic lights at Leeds Station are delaying its completion because the contractors used a green man that is a Neopagan nature figure, This means bees offer it honey, birds their eggs and travellers crossing the road here inexplicably break into Morris dances.
The Faery Queen of Mounsey Castle, a powerful, if tiny, presence riding through the woods and underground worlds of Exmoor. She is scouring the land for her long gone kith and kin, to defend the realm of the plant, insect, bird and animal kingdom against humanity’s final onslaught of destruction.

This is incredible! I’ve loved this book and this particular cover illustration all my life. I never imagined that there would be a recorded film of Michael Heslop working on it and talking about it. I’ve got a new/old obsession!

Wild God. Painted, mouthblown stained glass. 2025. This panel was inspired by Exmoor, its deep, dark woods, the bolving of its stags, the call of its owls, the dank of its mossy banks and the thrilling fear of what lies just out of the corner of your eye in a landscape that breathes old magic.
