Escape into the world of myth with Young Hag, an exuberant retelling of the women in Arthurian legend from the acclaimed graphic novelist
'Her perfect style feels timeless, dark and a little otherworldly'
KATE BEATON, author of Ducks
Once there was magic in Britain. There were dragons and wizards and green knights and kings who pulled swords out of stones. But now, the doors to the Otherworld have closed. Young Hag, her mother and her grandmother, Ancient Crone, are the last of the witches in Britain. At least, that's what Ancient Crone says.
Young Hag has grown up believing in the power of her grandmother. But when tragedy strikes, Young Hag turns her back on these tales. Where is their magic when they really need it?
And then one day they find a changeling in the woods. Confronted with real magic at last, Young Hag has no choice but to believe. She sets off on the greatest quest of her life: to open the doors to the Otherworld and bring magic back to Britain. But can Young Hag put aside her doubts? Or will she simply become a footnote in the tale of famous kings and wizards?
From the creator of Glass Town and The One Hundred Nights of Hero comes a dazzlingly imaginative escapade into the world of myth. Young Hag ingeniously reinvents the women in Arthurian legend for readers everywhere, transforming the tales of old into a heart-warming coming-of-age story with contemporary flair.
