Tales of Wonder and Magic

Doherty conjures ten magical tales from many cultures, including one tale of her own imagining. From Africa and Australia across the world to the British Isles, Canada and the southern United States, these are folktales told in words that unveil and honour the timeless wisdom of ancient people. Among the ten stories are: "The Girl from Llyn Y Fan Fach" from Wales; "Chura and Marwe" from Africa; "The Bogles and the Moon", an English Folktale; "Tamlane" from Scotland; "The Boy of the Red Twilight Sky" from Canada; "The People Could Fly" from the U.S.; "The
Black Bull of Norroway" from Ireland; "Mirragen the Cat-Man", an Australian Aboriginal story; "The Girl Who Couldn't Walk" by Doherty; and "The Woman of the Sea" from the Shetland Isles.
