He's known as Green Jack, Puck, the Green Knight, Pan, Robin Hood, and likely many more names lost in the mists of time. The Green Man is an ancient symbol of nature, fertility, and wildness, whose leafy image can still be seen today on buildings and in artwork throughout the world.
The Green Man: Spirit of Nature gift box is a wonderful introduction to the Green Man and all that he represents. Packed with 25 full-color images depicting the Green Man throughout time and place, John Matthews' book traces the many strands of the legend – from the first agrarian people of the ancient world to our own time when the Green Man has become an unofficial icon for the environmental movement.
A beautifully crafted plaque depicting the benign visage of the Green Man completes the package. Designed exclusively for this boxed set, this handsome plaque will add a whimsical touch of nature to the home or garden.
