NO FAIR MAIDENS/ LOST GODDESSES OF BRITAIN (HB)

As Kim Willis drifts from the traditional path of marriage and motherhood, she yearns for a new set of stories to light her way. She uncovers the ancient myths of matriarchs, shape-shifting enchantresses, scaly nymphs and goddesses who once commanded our lands hidden in the rugged landscapes of the British Isles, with women like Arianrhod, Melusine and Cerridwen awakening a forgotten power. Journeying from the Severn to Skye, Eryri to Northumberland, she discovers new magic in the tales of old, unveiling forgotten truths about grief and healing. While charting a new course through sisterhood and sexuality, fertility and freedom, she identifies a better way of being for modern women, and crafts a new vision for Britain where women are - and always were - a force of nature.
