The three millennia up to the establishment of the first imperial Qin dynasty in 221 BC cemented many of the distinctive elements of Chinese civilisation which are still in place today. Records of these early achievements, and their diverse and unexpected expressions, often lie not in written history, but in how people marked the end of their lives: their dwellings for the afterlife. Beautifully illustrated and drawing on the latest archaeological discoveries, ‘Life and Afterlife in Ancient China’ shows how the tombs form a mosaic of one of the oldest civilisations in the world.

‘Bardskull’ is the record of three journeys made by Martin Shaw, the celebrated storyteller and interpreter of myth, in the year before he turned fifty. Each account sees Shaw walk alone into a Dartmoor forest and wait. What arrives are stories – fragments of myth that he has carried within him for decades: the deep history of Dartmoor itself; the lives of distant family members; Arthurian legend; and tales from India, Persia, Lapland, the Caucasus and Siberia. But these stories and their tellers don’t arrive as the bearers of solace or easy wisdom. As with all quests, Shaw is entering domains of traps and tests.

The Greek myths were first told thousands of years ago, by poets and singers who wanted to tell how the world came to be. These brilliant stories are full of adventure and drama, but they also explore our deepest fears and fantasies. There’s a reason these myths still feel so powerful – they’ve formed the foundations of narratives and archetypes that we see in books and on our screens even today. This book hasn’t rewritten these myths. It has only switched all the genders. It might not sound like that much of a change, but you’ll be amazed by the world this swap creates – and by the new godesses, heroes, villainesses and adventurers you’re about to discover.
