Forests of Silver, Forests of Gold

Tales of Crones, Maids and Mothers

‘Running through these stories like a golden thread is a wildness, a wind-in-your-hair muddy-boots adventure, a deep appreciation of the cycles of the earth, and, most present of all, a keen sense of ‘otherness’, of not belonging. Rather than lean into the old familiar tropes of isolation and eccentricity, Collins turns that ‘otherness’ into a thing of strength, of beauty, of defiance – two fingers up to a world that never wanted you anyway.
