Isabel Greenberg on Young Hag

We can't wait to host Isabel Greenberg, author and artist of Glass Town and The One Hundred Nights of Hero, for her latest fantasy graphic novel, Young Hag.

Young Hag has grown up believing her mother and grandmother are the last witches in the land. But when tragedy strikes, she turns her back on these tales. Where is their magic when they really need it?

Then one day they find a changeling in the woods. Confronted with real magic at last, Young Hag has no choice but to believe. She sets off on the greatest quest of her life; but can Young Hag bring the magic back? Or will she become a footnote in the tale of famous kings and wizards?

A dazzlingly imaginative escape into the world of myth, Young Hag ingeniously reinvents the women in Arthurian legend, transforming the tales of old into a heart-warming coming-of-age story.
