Subverting Expectations with Kate Heartfield & T Kingfisher

  • Pleasance 60 Pleasance Edinburgh, Scotland, EH8 9TQ United Kingdom (map)

Magical tales where you should be prepared for our heroines to confound and subvert expectations as they weave their way through regal and other mazes wielding new found skills on journeys of discovery.

In T. Kingfisher‘s Nettle & Bone, we enter a subversive fairytale world where the princess may not marry the prince but kill him… Impossible tasks, stalwart companions all woven together in a magical tale where ‘doing the impossible is only the beginning’ and in The Embroidered Book Kate Heartfield’s sister queens Charlotte and Antoine discover magical means and courtly intrigue abound in their journey to the top.’

Chaired by Charlotte Bond
