True north
Sara Maitland
Spanning over 40 years of writing, this work brings together the highlights of a phenomenal career in short fiction. Traditional folk stories, myths and fairy tales are expertly modernised with feminist and scientific reworkings, by an acknowledged master of the genre. Drawing from classical Norse, Inuit and other pagan mythology, these stories find folkloric archetypes alive and well in every concievable modern context. Formally innovative, emotionally edgy and deeply imbued with a sense of location, they speak to our abiding concerns about humanity's relationship with the natural world, and the friction between ancient ritual and modern neglect.
