A Year and a Day, Issue 11: Owl & Oak
AYAAD Issue 11
Regular price $22.50There was a wise owl who lived in an oak,
The more he heard, the less he spoke...
The nights are getting longer, the leaves on the trees are changing colour and there’s a definite chill in the air. These are all signs that summer is over and autumn has just begun. While you might be feeling sad about the loss of the warm and light summer days, a wise person once said that, ‘a change is as good as a rest.’ It’s good to remember that as the plants shed their seeds and leaves, a period of rest is about to begin for the natural world, a rest that will allow everything to grow once more when spring arrives. In this issue you will find three stories all about the wisdom of owls and the power of oak trees.

How to make ink out of oak galls
If owls really are the wisest birds
How to say ‘owl’ in other languages
Where a ‘chicken of the woods’ might be found

A Year and a Day, Issue 14: Moor & Heath
AYAAD Issue 14
Regular price $22.50'Oh the summertime is coming, and the trees are sweetly blooming, where the wild mountain thyme, grows among the purple heather. Will ye go, lassie, go?'
In our summer issue we introduce you to a special landscape that is very close to our hearts: moor and heath. The moorland is a place of opposites: it is wild and tamed, thriving and barren, welcoming and dangerous. And this makes the perfect breeding ground for some of our most beguiling folk tales.
In this issue we include three stories all about the flora, fauna and folk of the moors:
The giants, Wade and Bell of the North York Moors, who shaped the land they lived upon, the 'piskies' of Dartmoor, who can be friend or foe to a moorland famer and the witches and willo-the-wisps of the Scottish heath, who can lure travellers into danger.
As well as discovering these wonderful traditional stories, we hope that by the time you have read this magazine, you will know how to:
- Draw a hare
- Build a drystone wall
- Identify and harvest seed from grasses
- Say the word for 'rabbit' in other languages
- Make a moorland dwelling
... And much more!
