Description
The Virago Book of Witches by Shahrukh Husain explores the complex and multifaceted world of women who are often associated with witchcraft. Drawing from folklore and legends from around the globe, this collection celebrates the diversity of female experience, featuring stories of crones, nixies, shape-shifters, and enchantresses. From the loving fox witch of Japan to Italy's Witch-Bea-Witch, Scotland's Goodwife of Laggan, and Biddy Earl, these tales showcase women who step out of line and defy convention. With tom-foolery, fun, strife, and victory, Husain's stories reveal the power and resilience of women in all their forms. This book offers a unique perspective on the mythology surrounding witches, one that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
