Sarah Clegg’s recent bestseller The Dead of Winter was a Festival favourite and we are delighted that this Winter, she brings us her new book Perilous Enchantment: The True History of Faeries – the curious and real story of the creatures that have beguiled, tricked, terrified, seduced and enchanted us for millennia. Join Sarah as she shines fresh light on the real and imagined landscape of fairies, how tales change in the telling, and how the stories we share shape the beliefs we hold.
In conversation with Anna Wood.
