Her latest book Shiver is a love-letter to Caledonia – its flowers and rocks, its bogs and legends and hills – and to its chill waters, which swept Brigid off her feet only to carry her back home again.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"m_3734779323508307088viewer-upmbe909\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSteeped in folklore, mythology, magic and religion, \u003cspan\u003e Elizabeth Sulis Kim\u003c\/span\u003e's \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Beasts\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of our shapeshifting relationships with animals, from reverence to persecution, friendship to fear, awe to indifference.

From fictional retellings to emotional journeys, learn how the mythologies of Wales and beyond have evolved over the years and how they relate to our lives today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrigid Lowe grew up in a remote Welsh-speaking community on Ynys Môn, with her younger sister and Irish immigrant parents. She now lives with her children in that part of Scotland known as Yr Hen Ogledd – The Old North – formerly joined with Wales in one Cumbric nation. She studied literature at Bangor, completed a doctorate at Oxford, and went on to teach and research at Sheffield and Cambridge Universities, publishing a book and many essays on the art of fiction. Brigid traces her descent from travellers, circus performers, mill workers and gallowglass warriors. She takes photographs of flowers, forages her food, clambers pinnacles, and swims in ice and caves and bottomless pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Sulis Kim's writing has appeared in places such as BBC Culture, Mslexia, Hellebore, Fiddler's Green, Litro, The Guardian, The Independent, Refinery29, and the LA Review of Books. She is the founding editor of Cunning Folk, the popular independent magazine about magic, mythology, folklore and the occult. She grew up in the rural West Country and now lives in Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKim Willis is a storyteller and strategist who walks the threshold between old myth and new futures; sometimes advising NGOs, writing for The Guardian, or more often telling tales and leading workshops where encountering myth becomes a doorway: a way into inner knowing, and back out into how we navigate the world. She is cofounder of ‘Dreams For Britain’, a national project dreaming a new, community-led vision for the country into being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessibility:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe ask in our confirmation email if you have any access needs, we will do everything we can to accommodate them.
