Publisher's summary
Soaked in mist and old magic, Storyland tells a history of Britain and the politics of its people through medieval eyes. Grounded in research, related as fiction, it begins before the Great Flood, with a troop of African giants quarrying stones. Later, the first migrants enter the Atlantic, calling themselves the Scoti and Britons, followed by the English and the Normans, crossing the North Sea.
Storyland is ancient Britain as you have never seen it before. It is filled with places we know today and characters half-remembered: Lear in Leicester, Merlin in Stonehenge, Grim in Grimsby, St Columba on the River Ness. Storyland is a tale of legend, landscape and the yearning to belong.

Brilliant
Jeff’s work tied so many of the scattered stories I knew to many more I did not. Creating an elegant and lusty constellation worthy of its subject.
Obvious scholarship, in service to story, made useful for the mythological landscape we are wandering today.

Wonderful idea but better as a book
Who doesn’t like mythology?! Especially this British mythology with an academic bent and personal insights… but as an audiobook it falls flat unfortunately. Buy the book. The audiobook is a bit scattered and not in the end very compelling. The research is wonderful and clearly well done but those of us used to mythology books will find this not as fulfilling as other anthologies. I will now buy the book as the subject matter is very interesting while the storytelling was only ok.
