A story synopsis.... ~Deep in the ancient, untouched heart of the forest lives the green man. There he cares for the trees, and the birds, and the beasts. The lords and ladies in their castles and mansions, and the wealthy merchants in the towns, they know that the green man is just a story to amuse children. Though his image is carved into the very stone of their churches and cathedrals, they do not believe such nonsense. But the country folk, those whose villages and farms lie closest to the edge of the forest, they know. And when the days grow short and bitter and the ground turns hard, they leave out bowls of food as an offering to him~ Karuna Mistry Karuna has over 90 individual poems published in more than 60 anthologies.
