Wildest Dream : An imagined history of the Green Man

"I look up into the falling rain, letting�it splash in my face, and hope against�hope that the inspiriting green can�yet disturb the civilised order before it�consumes everything. This is, I suppose,�an activist's prayer. May the green spill�into our lives and burst out again in�a hundred thousand practices of vitality,�attention, and care."What happens when we embrace�wildness, as individuals and as a�society? Wildest Dream poses this�question, tracing the figure of�the Green Man as he has passed�through the ages, amongst our�May festivals, church walls and�peasant protest, and into emerging�movements of resistance and change. Along the way we meet characters�old and new, and find communities striving for a better world.�While the Green Man's story asks�that we confront the violence faced�by people and planet, David Gee's�enduring message is above all�one of hope - a beautiful challenge�to live in deeper communion with�each other and the earth.��
