Delicious and dangerous, this collection of fairy tales is a glorious tribute to women with ''do what thou wilt'' bravado - those who dare to wear the breeches. They shed their female garb (and modesty) and don the male''s role to save king, country, kin, and their own lives or for revenge, love, power and a good time. Shahrukh Husain''s tales from around the world - riddles, battle triumphs, bawdy and moving stories - prove that no heroine, or hero, is as exciting and daring as the irresitible cross-dresser of fairy tales.

Beware the women who are called witches, or those who claim the name for themselves...Banshees - a howling night-witch and harbinger of death; She-devils - Lilith and her daughters; or Bitches - Hecate, whose chariot is drawn by dogs.Alluring women, enchantresses, seekers of revenge, wise old women and badly-behaved girls. As Shahrukh Husain says, witches are ''womanhood in all its complexity''.Over fifty stories of crones and nixies, shape shifters and beauties are here, including the loving fox witch of Japan; Italy''s Witch-Bea-Witch; Scotland''s Goodwife of Laggan; Biddy Earl and the terrifying Kali and Baba Yaga who comes in many forms to haunt, entice, possess, transform and challenge. From every corner of the globe, with tom-foolery, fun, strife and victory, these folklore and legends celebrate women who step out of line.

An eye cast over the impressive if frightening array of characters reveals baby-thief Lamia, a fertile deity from Greek mythology with a serpent''s tail who seduced mortals and bred beautiful monster-children; Morgan le Fay, fairy sister to King Arthur, who according to Celtic legend tried to wrest the throne from him using her black magic powers; Medea who wreaked terrible revenge on Jason when he left her for a younger woman; Lilith, Eve, the Queen of Sheba, Delilah, Jezebel, Kali - all wicked women whose names have been with us for centuries as demons and sirens and troublemakers.

El Libro de las Brujas es una celebración de toda la rabia, la ira y la lucha que supone ser una bruja, pero también lo es de la diversión, lo sobrenatural y lo extraordinario del mundo de la magia y de la hechicería. Según la propia autora: «La bruja es el máximo ejemplo de la feminidad en toda su complejidad».Mujeres desafiantes y druidas salvajes. Damas vengativas, sabias ancianas y niñas de mal comportamiento. Mujeres que cometieron la osadía de pasarse de la raya; cariñosas brujas-zorro japonesas, terroríficas banshees célticas que aúllan en la oscuridad; reinas de la noche como Lilith y sus hijas; o magas como Hécate, asociada a la luna, a los portales y a los fantasmas. Por las páginas de este libro desfilan reinas de la oscuridad, deidades del agua, cambiaformas y criaturas de leyenda como la misteriosa señora de Laggan, que habita en los bosques escoceses; como Biddy Early, la terrorífica Kali, o la mítica Baba Yagá, virgen, madre y hechicera a la vez, que se aparece de múltiples formas a lo largo de las eras para perseguir, atraer, poseer y transformar a los paseantes perdidos.
