MAGICKAL FAERYTALES

Long ago, faerytales were spirit-stories, tales of mystery, initiation and transformation and they were not meant only for children. In this collection of retold faerytales, including one bewitching original, Lucy Cavendish has reimagined 11 classics, restoring to them their pagan wisdom, so that every story bubbles over with spells, potions, hexes, faeries and all manner of magickal beings. Boys grow antlers, enchanted horses talk from beyond the afterlife, mermaid mothers call to their daughters, and alchemy allows a psychic girl to spin straw into gold within these spellbinding pages.
