A collection of short stories inspired by haunting English and French folk tales and also rooted in mythology and the landscapes of Sussex, Brittany and Languedoc. The collection is book ended by two differing versions of the myth of 'The Mistletoe Bride' - see more about the legend of the mistletoe bough.
Will this prove to a timeless treasure and a suitably spooky storybook for the winter season?
