Reinterpreting the latest research and discoveries, and featuring a ground-breaking study of Worsley Man, this book brings the bogs to life through both natural history and folklore, revealing them as places that were rich and fertile yet dangerous. It also reflects on the debate over whether bog bodies should be displayed at all.
