  • Résumé

  • Exploring otherness, identity, faith, religion, gender and sexual trauma, Hag brings together a gripping collection of tales that are unsettlingly timely and wickedly sinister. Each story is inspired by a forgotten folk tale sourced from across the UK by Professor Carolyne Larrington, a specialist in Old Norse and British fairy tales at St John's College, Oxford. Drawn from illuminated manuscripts and other folkloric traditions, these stories have been revised and reimagined by authors local to each region. Just as the Brothers Grimm codified Germany's rural folk lore, Hag catalogues the early myths and legends that have shaped the UK's storytelling heritage.

    Each story has been richly sound-designed, combining subtle vocal effects, atmospheric textures and an original score.

    Listeners who want to find out more about the forgotten folk tales that inspired Hag will be able to explore further with a series of accompanying interviews between Professor Carolyne Larrington and the authors.

so much for headlines being optional

Most of the retellings were chilling and compelling. Great recordings and sound design! The woman conducting interviews following each tale was a real bonus.

Bad editing

Whoever put this together has likely never listened to an audio book and certainly never used the audible app. Take out the long pauses at the beginning of each segment and/or make them all one book not episodes. Horrible user experience for something intended from the start to be heard.

Stories are lovely and the discussions about them after are really great and informative (even though a few authors have some annoying habits and one really outed themselves as being a bit of an idiot).

Thoroughly enjoyable.

I actually missed the "feminist" part of the theme up to the point where I finished the fourth book. The women feature prominently, of course, but the flavour of the old stories come through, so the feminist leaning is subtle, modern, and quite refreshing.
