Description:
Bestselling author Lucy Cavendish and renowned artist Jasmine Becket-Griffith have teamed up to create a gorgeous full-color illustrated book. This fabulous collection of re-imagined faerytales restores their pagan wisdom so that every story bubbles over with spells, potions, hexes, faeries, and all manner of magickal beings.
Once upon a time, faerytales were spirit-stories, tales of mystery, initiation, and transformation, and they were not meant only for children. In addition to twelve wonderful retold stories, this beautiful hardcover book features faerytale-inspired spells, fascinating histories, and the spine-tingling secrets behind the stories. This collaboration between Lucy Cavendish and Jasmine Becket-Griffith is a thrillingly witchy twist on some of the world's most beloved tales.
