The Wicked Wood

by Isobelle Carmody (Editor), Nan McNab (Editor)

Overview

A dozen of the most exciting and unique writers for young people have chosen fairytales as starting points for their own original stories, in this surprising and spellbinding two-volume collection

In this companion to The Wilful Eye, six celebrated writers—Catherine Bateson (Stranded in Boringville), Victor Kelleher (Dogboy), Cate Kennedy (The World Beneath), Maureen McCarthy (Rose by Any Other Name), Nan McNab, and Kate Thompson (The New Policeman)—reclaim fairytales, taking readers back to the deep, dark woods where wolves howl and not everything can be explained. Readers of these stories will lose themselves in the forest; a place of danger, mystery, and transformation.
