Young Hag | Isabel Greenberg
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Once there was magic in Britain. There were dragons and wizards and green knights and kings who pulled swords out of stones. But now, the doors to the Otherworld have closed. Young Hag has grown up believing her mother and grandmother are the last witches in the land. But when tragedy strikes, she turns her back on these tales. Where is their magic when they really need it? Then one day they find a changeling in the woods. Confronted with real magic at last, Young Hag has no choice but to believe. She sets off on the greatest quest of her life; but can Young Hag bring the magic back? Or will she become a footnote in the tale of famous kings and wizards? From the acclaimed creator of Glass Town and The One Hundred Nights of Hero comes a dazzlingly imaginative escape into the world of myth. Young Hag ingeniously reinvents the women in Arthurian legend, transforming the tales of old into a heart-warming coming-of-age story. 'A gamechanger... Will win legions of fans' KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE, author of The Girl of Ink & Stars 'She has honed a perfect style that feels timeless' KATE BEATON, author of Ducks

As the author points out, Camelot stories have been retold and reshaped many times over the years. Here is another old/new version for now.

I can remember being terrified by Morgan le Fay on "Storyteller" tapes as a kid.

Here she gets to be more than the evil witch determined to destroy Arthur.

"Quests are very dull for the most part....
No one ever talks about toilets on quests now, do they?"

I love this author.
