An unforgettable collection of retold myths and folk tales, celebrating the wisdom and power of women in midlife and beyond, from the award-winning author of Hagitude 'An extraordinary selection of stories ... beautifully and vividly retold' TLS 'Genius' Irish Times 'Treasure it!' Shahrukh Husain 'Wonderful' Victoria Smith 'The book I've been longing for' Jill Dawson 'Thrilling' Stella Duffy This dazzling array of not-to-be-messed-with characters from a lost tradition of European myth and folklore - from ungainly giantesses and sequin-strewn fairy godmothers to misunderstood witches and craggy crones - provides inspiration for how women can walk boldly and live authentically in the second half of life. 'Features an exuberant cast ... The collection is precious, because it's the first time that these rare, patriarchy-surviving remnants of powerful elder female folk stories have been deliberately anthologised' Irish Times 'A fascinating collection of female myths and legends' Sara Sheridan 'I adored Wise Women**'** Eleanor Mills, author of Much More to Come: Lessons on the mayhem and magnificence of midlife 'Wondrously wise, clever and insightful as well as slyly funny' AG Slatter, author of The Briar Book of the Dead There's plenty in Hagitude to inspire women of every age' Christina Patterson, Sunday Times 'The glorious possibility that we might age and ripen, age and grow greater, age and be-come, while also accepting that we will age and die - this is what I have come to expect from Sharon Blackie's expansive work, and why I am especially excited by this collection with Angharad Wynne that revisits our old stories, making them thrilling for us now, as the midlife and older wise women we are be-coming' Stella Duffy OBE
