About This Book

The author interweaves local legend and close observation to show how a luminous, sensuous landscape produces myths rooted in love rather than northern gloom. She retells foundational tales, especially of a sea-born maiden whose passionate union with a mortal shapes the coast, and uses these narratives to illuminate seasonal, sensory scenes of shore, hill and vegetation. Essays combine evocative topographical description with reflections on feeling, arguing that landscape and human passion fuse into enduring popular stories that explain and enrich everyday life.
