A Pocketful of Crows

Love made her a prisoner. Revenge will set her free.

A story of the fae and the folk; of the mountains and the sea, the lakes and the moors and the rivers and the bees. A modern fairytale of love, loss, and revenge. The circle of life, the wheel—ever turning.

Here is another beautifully written tale by one of my favorite authors, @joannechocolat, and illustrated by the fabulous @bonniehelenhawkinsartist.

For anyone who likes fairies, folklore, and fantasy.

Hag: Forgotten Folktales Retold

I really enjoyed this collection of British folktale retellings! My favorites were 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳’𝘴 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘦, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘚𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨, and 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘢𝘺, but all were really interesting short stories packed full of symbolism and meaningful lessons. Would highly recommend this to anyone who likes fae lore, mythical creatures, and fantasy ✨
