Hag: Forgotten Folktales Retold

Hag is a collection of forgotten folktales wildly reimagined by some of the most exciting women writing in Britain and Ireland today.

Here are sisters fighting for the love of the same woman, a pregnant archaeologist unearthing impossible bones and lost children following you home. A panther runs through the forests of England and pixies prey upon violent men.

From the islands of Scotland to the coast of Cornwall, the mountains of Galway to the depths of the Fens, these forgotten fables dance across our isles and conjure modern myths for the 21st Century.
