Now a successful book dealer, Kagwa has a family of his own after meeting and falling in love with Emma, a librarian. The two marry and have a baby: so far so happy-ever-after. However, as the pair settle into their new lives as parents, exhaustion and anxiety start to take their toll. Emma's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, until one day she commits an unthinkable act, setting Apollo on a wild and fantastical quest through a suddenly otherworldly New York, in search of a wife and child he no longer recognises. An epic novel for our anxiety-ridden times, The Changeling is a tale of parenthood, love - in its most raw and brutal form - and, ultimately, humanity.
A charm is a magic spell worked with the use of an amulet, bringing about either good or ill. A changeling in fairy tales is much rarer. It is a horrid little fairy creature mischievously exchanged for a look-alike human child. Pity the one who has to try and get the real child back! In this collection, Ruth Manning-Sanders engagingly includes tales of each. A piece of amber fills up a wine jug as soon as it is emptied, a bridle can turn anything into anything, a cap can make the wearer invisible! As for changelings, there are beautiful maidens, and a raven - and more. Ruth Manning-Sanders conjured up a strange and exciting world in these tales which Robin Jacques captures so well in his fine illustrations.

Itâe(tm)s the heart of a sinister empire, built on the powers of the netherworld âe" werewolves, vampires, sorcerers, djinns. And Trey himself has a power thatâe(tm)s roaring to break free. Is he a boy or is he a beast?
The first comprehensive study of medieval changelings and associated attitudes to the health and care of children in the period. The changeling - a monstrous creature swapped for a human child by malevolent powers - is an enduring image in the popular imagination; dubbing a child a changeling is traditionally understood as a way to justify the often-violent rejection of a disabled or ailing infant. Belief in the reality of changelings is famously attested in Stephen of Bourbon's disapproving thirteenth-century account of rites at the shrine of Saint Guinefort the Holy Greyhound, where sick children were brought to be cured. However, the focus on the St. Guinefort rituals has meant some schol...
