In mythology, lost lands are coral castles beneath the sea, ancient forests where spirits live, and mountain swamps where trolls lurk. These lost lands become valleys and villages flooded to provide drinking water, campsites where travelers are told they can't travel, and reservations where the rights of first nations people are ignored. The folk tales in this book tell of these lost lands and hidden people, remembered through migrations, dreams, and memories. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 208 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01 October 2021\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: The History Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Grimms referred to them as the Quiet Folk, while in Māori, they are known as Patupaiarehe.

However, when we strip away the mythology, these lost lands transform into valleys and villages that are flooded to provide drinking water to neighboring kingdoms, campsites that forbid travel, and reservations that disregard the rights of First Nations people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe folk tales in this book delve into these hidden lands and the enigmatic Quiet Folk, preserved through migrations, dreams, and memories.
