The Green Man

When twelve-year-old Albert sets out on his bike one grey Lincolnshire morning, he expects nothing more than muddy tracks and RAF flyovers. But down an ancient Roman road, among the roots and hedgerows, he meets Jack, a leaf-cloaked wanderer who speaks to owls, listens to rivers, and walks the turning wheel of the year.

As the seasons change, Albert is drawn deeper into the quiet magic of the land: learning its rituals, listening to its whispering roots, and discovering a hidden world beneath his wheels. Guided by Jack and a pair of curious companions, a vole named Voley and a watchful buzzard - Albert embarks on a journey that will root him to the earth in ways he never imagined.

A lyrical, heartfelt tale of folklore, friendship, and finding your place in the wild and turning world, The Green Man is a timeless seasonal odyssey for readers young and old alike.
