6The green man (c1979; 1st American ed. Scribner, 1980, ISBN 0684163381); written and illus. by Haley —
The Green Man is a story about an arrogant man who is changed for the better by having to live and survive in nature. Based on English legends of the Green Man.
“Honestly, this is pretty much an all-around winner. The pagan theme is rich, the story arch of character growth is moralistic without being cloying, the demonstration of living with nature is on point, and the art is great. The only quibble I have is that its publishers have put it out of print. Luckily for us, Amazon, Alibris, and other online booksellers can connect us to people with copies to sell: every site I found had at least 20 sellers listed. Scribner did only publish paperbacks, but a few “library edition” hardcovers (like mine!) can be found.” Taken from A Review by Melisa
