Magical instructions, the fantastical and marvelous intertwined. A world spun from gossamer and light gravity. If you dig Angela Carter, Rikki Ducornet, Barbara Guest, fairy tales, alchemical texts, and dark legends then this is required reading.

One of my favorites from the Scantily Clad chapbook series. Lovely working of fairy-tale and quest motifs.
