Great Book, I haven't had a chance to read it all but it seems to be a great book so far. I have not yet read the book, but it looks as though it will be a perfect reference for some work I'm doing on Celtic Shamanism. It arrived quickly and in perfect shape. If you are new to Green Man lore, this is an easy, enjoyable read by a psychologist steeped in folklore and well qualified to explore the significance of the foliate heads that "adorn both pub signs and cathedrals.
And at its end, we may know something fundamental about ourselves. It is therefore a walk that is well worth taking" The book is divided into four chapters. The first, "The Thing in the Forest," is an overview of the history, lore, traditions, and interesting personages associated with the Green Man. The underlying focus is on humanity's "fundamental split with the Natural world. At first I fretted over the book's lack of references, footnotes, bibliography, and index that are familiar in more scholarly works.
Then I reminded myself that the book is aptly named -- it is a "walk," not a long, intense journey. On a leisurely walk, baggage would be a hindrance a useful reading list is provided at the end, however. I especially enjoyed the lengthy sections on "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight"; Curran's fine interpretation of Ragnell as a Green Woman; the historical sources behind Robin Hood's life and death; and fascinating data on Rosslyn Chapel.
Chapter Three, "Echoes from the East," follows themes from the first two chapters into the rest of the world, although lore from Europe finds its way into this chapter as well again, this is a "walk" -- it likes to meander and stray off-focus. So we meet Europe's dryads, satyrs, and oakmen along with some great Islamic information on djinns and Al-Khidir.
Chapter Four named "Unholy Terrors," but the content does not match the title begins with more lore e. The sections I most enjoyed were on the Victorian revival of interest in spiritualism, ancient festivals like May Day, lost secrets, foliate heads; and Curran's survey of Green Man themes in current politics "Green" movements , advertising e.
I am really interested in the subject of the Green Man in religious history and lore, so I was looking forward to receiving this book. But I found several glaring errors within the first couple of chapters, and much superficial guessing and conjecture. Eventually, I decided that I couldn't trust anything this book is saying.

From what I can tell this book is largely wishful speculation, based on perhaps much personal reading, but it has no real substance at all in an academic sense. It may well have been written by someone with a sincere personal interest in the subject, but I wouldn't rely on it for real information. Gorgeous photography based on exhaustive studies of Green Man throughout Europe.
