Two books bestrode my childhood, and made me the man I am: The Magic Bridle, a collection of British and Irish myths retold by the folklorist Forbes Stuart, which ignited my six-year-old imagination in 1974, and Mysterious Britain by Janet and Colin Bord, published two years earlier, and part of a then burgeoning bookseller phenomenon of often unreliable Earth mysteries compendiums.

I hate being late, but on this crisp morning I find myself rushing. I am glued to my phone screen attempting to navigate the lined pathways through the sprawling woodland of Epping Forest, which borders northeast London and Essex.

Cursing myself under my breath for wearing such silly attire, I continue to run through the grass to try and find a group of people somewhere in the distance, standing by a tree.
