If folklore has taught us anything, the woods are enchanted and hold lessons to learn. Snow White sought refuge by hitching her gown and bolting for the woods. This tale taught us that being swept away by one handsome stranger is much, much better than cleaning up after seven little strangers with wandering hands.
In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh himself travelled the cedar forest despite his petulantly nagging Mother having a gripe. After experiencing nasty dreams and fighting a demonic creature, it turns out that Gilgamesh probably should have listened. Lesson learned: It doesn't matter how great aking you are, or whether you happen to be half-God-half-human. Mum will always be cleverer.
Then there's In The Woods.Northcote folk: step in there and explore the Penelope Durston knickknacks, Limedrop threads and the shelves brimming with tea sets by Japanese designer Mountain Mountain.
The lesson learned is that once you're served coffee and mind-bogglingly mouth-watering cupcakes by charming shop people, it is okay to accept the offers of strangers and the woods aren't as frightening as those folklores cracked them up to be.
