Kevin Crossley-Holland’s picture books bring the folk tales and legends of Britain and Scandinavia to young readers. Beginning with The Callow Pit Coffer and The Green Children in 1968, he has retold stories from East Anglia, Norse mythology, and Arthurian legend in formats accessible to children.
Many of these books draw on the same deep knowledge of folklore that informs his adult work. Titles like The Wildman and Sleeping Nanna come from the oral traditions of the English countryside, while The King Who Was and Will Be brings Arthurian stories to younger audiences.
