About

Hagtale explores the power of stories lost and found, their transformative potential, and who gets to be the owner of the tale.

A hagtale, a dark fable, a story told around winter’s fires and known to Shakespeare but never written down. Until now. In eleventh-century Scotland, feral wolf-child Wulva is brought up by witches and then sent to live at a Scottish castle, where she falls under the spell of cruel, ambitious Lord Macbeth.

Three hundred years later, gentle Brother Rowan goes on a strange and perilous journey to a remote and ancient monastery to write a history of the Scottish king-line. Misfits in their own time, seekers after truth, Wulva and Rowan are deeply connected despite the centuries that separate them. 

Sally will be reading from and discussing her novel  as well as answering questions and signing copies. 

The event starts at 7PM on Thurs 26th Nov and will be held in person at the shop and online via Zoom.
