Books. Tools. Ideas. Beautiful things worth your attention.

If I could gift every young woman this book in her liminal years between girlhood and womanhood, I would. Folklore & fairytales are the antidote to the often rudderless places we find ourselves when we are starved of symbolism.
I have had my copy for decades, it’s the most loved book I own. I come back to it time after time.
I like the way Martin Shaw thinks. Martin dances with the stories. His mantra, ‘Never tell the story what it is.’ leaves room for the story to wrap itself around the parts of your own life in which it is most needed.
The audio book is read by Martin, his voice and cadence are a salve.
