Format: Hardback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.00
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Further and further she went into the woods following the trail of blood... The forest is a strange place, at times a testing-ground, at times a place to hide. Mary goes there in pursuit of Caley whilst Tom strikes a cruel bargain with his starving brother. Anwen dreams of mysterious leaves whilst Jack must chop down all the trees in the wood - or lose his head. In Dark Tales from the Woods Daniel Morden draws on the stories of Abram Wood, the celebrated king of the gypsies who came to Wales in the beginning of the eighteenth century. Daniel has added his distinctive voice to the old gypsy tales, the thread of menace strong, rich and dark in this spine-tingling collection. Dark Tales from the Woods are the real thing, reminiscent of many of the grimmest Grimms' tales. Retold by the Welsh storyteller Daniel Morden from originals by the celebrated king of the Gypsies, Abram Wood, these fairytales draw on common stock but have their own unique cadence and charm...Gruesome, fantastical and hypnotic, Morden's stories show why the fairy world will never lose its power over our imaginations.'
