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 its the first time that these rare, patriarchy-surviving remnants of powerful elder female folk stories have been deliberately anthologisedIrish Times
