The Tallow-Wife and Other Tales

Illustrated by Kathleen Jennings
Introduction by Helen Marshall

‘Once upon a time when wishing still helped . . .’

Return to the dreaming streets of the cathedral-city of Lodellan, where a new generation of characters face fairy tales and nightmares. Cordelia Parsifal has an enviable life, hard won, but the ghosts of the past are soon to remind her that no sin or omission goes unnoticed. Slumbering saints awake, hind-girls dance, boys become bears, and the fate of the upper- and under-earths rests on the whim of a single, volatile creature.
