Gossip from the Forest by Sara Maitland

Did not finish book.

I picked this book up to read on a holiday. I found the premise of the book: that Teutonic fairytales and forests are closely intertwined and mutually benefit from their relations to each other, intriguing. I liked learning about the ancient forests Maitland visited. But I don't generally enjoy reading long descriptions of nature, and that's basically what this book is. Some of Maitland's conjectures about fairytales also felt like a stretch.

Enjoyable for a few chapters, but I don't feel the drive to finish it when I have so much more to read.
