{"product_id":"courting-the-wild-twin","title":"Courting the Wild Twin","description":"\"Fabulous.\"—Dan Richards, author of Holloway\n\n\"Terrifically strange and thrilling.\"—Melissa Harrison, author of All Among the Barley\n\n\"A modern-day bard.\"—Madeline Miller, author of Circe\n\nThis is a book of literary activism – an antidote to the shallow thinking that typifies our age.\n\nIn Courting the Wild Twin, acclaimed scholar, mythologist and author of Smoke Hole and Bardskull, Martin Shaw unravels two ancient European fairy tales concerning the mysterious ‘wild twin’ located deep inside all of us. By reading these tales and becoming storytellers ourselves, he challenges us to confront modern life with purpose, courage, and creativity.\n\nMartin summons the reader to the \"ragged edge of the dark wood\" to seek out this estranged, exiled self – the part we generally shun or ignore to conform to societal norms – and invite it back into our consciousness. If there was something we were meant to do with our few, brief years on Earth, we can be sure that our wild twin is holding the key.\n\nAfter all, stories are our secret weapons – and they might just save us.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1603589503\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1603589503.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Shaw, Martin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
