Global Folklore: Connecting Global Myths & Legends
By Martin J Brennan

What if the fairy tales of England, the gods of Olympus, and the ancestral spirits of Europe were all threads of a single, ancient tapestry?

Global Folklore: Connecting Global Myths & Legends is a sweeping, in-depth exploration of how English, European, and Greek mythologies intertwine-and how their echoes still shape our imagination today. Drawing on more than 50 chapters and extensive research, Martin J Brennan traces the shared mythic DNA that links sky fathers and earth mothers, giants and faeries, sacred trees and trickster gods. From Indo-European origins to the re-enchantment of modern landscapes, this book uncovers how folklore evolved, survived religious transformation, and continues to resonate in everything from epic literature to seasonal festivals.

Journey through labyrinths, across hollow hills, and into dreamworlds where gods become monsters, saints echo ancient deities, and fairies refuse to fade away. Along the way, rediscover the sacred language of myth, its role in shaping identity, and its power as resistance against cultural erasure.

This is not just a history of mythology-it's a map of the hidden world beneath our own.
