From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Storyland and Wild, comes a sweeping new legendary of miracles, magic, human frailty and heroic strength. Illustrated with over thirty original paper cutouts by the author. She retells legends born of the medieval cult of saints and draws on ‘official’ lives, vernacular romances, artworks and obscene poetry, all spanning from the fourth to the sixteenth centuries from as far east as Turkey and North Africa, and as far west as Britain and Ireland, with tales of demons and dragons, the stubborn skull of a giant, and sleepers in a concealed Greek cave.
