Rebel Folklore gathers 50 of the darkest and most complicated
folktale characters from around the world, showing readers why we
should care about the rebels and misfits of ancient stories.
Folktales were humble stories, passed down generations by those on
the fringes of society: women, peasants, outcast groups. Across the
world, these ancient stories are filled with strange characters,
complicated figures who hold up a mirror to the world that dreamt
them up. From outspoken women cast as witches to anti-authority
figures denounced as criminals, flawed heroes to relatable
villains, Rebel Folklore celebrates 50 of these misfits and what
they mean for us today. Whether it's Muma Padurii, the Romanian
forest witch who terrorizes trespassers to protect the environment,
the Churel, who stalks unfaithful men on her backwards feet, or
Robin Hood, everyone's favourite lawless activist, we can learn a
lot from the rebels of days gone by: how to speak out, embrace our
flaws, and be unashamedly ourselves - even if that means being a
cannibalistic swamp witch.
