Beschreibung

<p><b>'</b>I loved this book. <b>Memoir, myth and magic</b> wrapped up together.' Emily Hauser</p><p>'Kim Willis is <b>an expert storyteller' </b>Emma Gannon</p><p><b>Through the threads of folklore, mythology, memoir, history and landscape, <i>No Fair Maidens </i>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.</b></p><p>As Kim Willis drifts from the traditional path of marriage and motherhood, she yearns for a new set of stories to light her way. Here, she is pulled towards the source of the Severn, hearing whispers of ancient matriarchs: shape-shifting enchantresses, scaly nymphs and goddesses who once commanded our lands.</p><p><b>These are <i>no fair maidens</i>, but powerful warrioresses and animalistic beasts, snaking along the edges of watery places where we meet the otherworld in the shadows.</b></p><p>As she uncovers the ancient myths hidden in the rugged landscapes of the British Isles, the stories of women like <b>Arianrhod</b>, <b>Melusine </b>and <b>Cerridwen </b>awaken a forgotten power.</p><p>Journeying from the Severn to Skye, Eryri to Northumberland, Kim 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.</p><p><b><i>'This book is an act of excavation, and an act of remembering.'</i></b></p>
