The author of If Women Rose Rooted and The Enchanted Life returns to her first love, fiction, in this literary collection of fairy-tale retellings of transforming women.

FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Charged with possibility and power, this memorable collection is an extraordinary immersion into the bodies and voices, mindscapes and landscapes, of the shapeshifting women of our native folklore. Drawing on myth and fairy tales found across Europe from Croatia to Sweden, Ireland to Russia, these stories are about coming to terms with our animal natures, exploring the ways in which we might renegotiate our fractured relationship with the natural world, and uncovering the wildness and wilderness within.
