SynopsisExquisite . . . Angela Carter goes feral with Ursula K. Le Guin' (Jay Griffiths): a beautifully illustrated novel rooted in fantasy and folklore, set in a post-apocalyptic California, In a ruined world, what survives are the stories we tell Poppy, who speaks the languages of wild things, travels east to the mountains with the wheeled and elephantine beast Lyoobov. He's seeking answers to the mysteries of his birth, and the origins of the fallen world in which he lives. Up in the glacial peaks, among a strange, mountainous people, a Juniper Tree takes Poppy deep into her roots and shows him the true stories of the people who made his world, people he thought were only myths. Their tales span centuries, from three hundred years in the future all the way back to our present day. It is through this feral but redemptive folklore that Poppy begins to understand the story of his own past and his place in the present. Tatterdemalion is a stunning collaboration between writer Sylvia V. Linsteadt and artist Rima Staines, featuring the fourteen original paintings that inspired the narrative., Sylvia Linsteadt is a writer, artist, and certified animal tracker based in California. Her short fiction has been published in New California Writing and Dark Mountain among others, and from 2013 to 2016 she ran Wild Talewort, sending re-wilded tellings of myths and folktales to hundreds of subscribers around the world. She will be available for events around publication. Contains fourteen integrated full-colour reproductions of the paintings by Rima Staines that inspired the novel. For fans of Angela Carter ( Book of Fairy Tales , The Bloody Chamber ) and Ursula K. Le Guin ( A Wizard of Earthsea , The Left Hand of Darkness ).
