Brian Froud has met more than a few of them. It's their eyes—deep wells of wisdom, stories and the slow, ancient song of the forest.\" —Alan Lee, artist and concept designer of the film adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit\n“I have always been fascinated by the carvings of ‘foliate heads’ that peer out of the shadows of medieval churches and cathedrals, generally known as the Green Man, yet their origins, meaning, and purpose remain elusive. As I attempted to capture them on canvas, however, I became aware of a deeper mystery. There are so many Green Man figures, but where was the Green Woman? Why had she been relegated to the spiritual shadows? I started to paint again. Faces emerged from the darkness of the unknown: Green Women in multiple forms, all insisting that they should be seen and heard.” —Brian Froud\nContributors include:\nSharon Blackie\nC. S. E.
