Gossip from the Forest (Maitland book)


Gossip from the Forest: the Tangled Roots of our Forests and Fairytales is a 2012 book by Sara Maitland about the connections between forests and fairytales in Northern Europe. It is structured around accounts of walks through 12 forests in Scotland and England, one per month of the year, and 12 associated retellings of traditional fairytales, and was published by Granta.
Maitland has described the book as "a hybrid book ... history and photographs and nature and politics and science and anthropology and fiction and, indeed, gossip."
