Shadow Sense

"We lovers of folktales know that many a story begins by declaring 'there once was a woman.' And we know that the woman will be either a maiden in search of love, a mother protecting her clan, or a crone bent on revenge. And you will also expect her tale to be set in time immemorial, in a magical era rife with spirit mischief.

The tale you are about to hear is different."

The third of our Solstice Stories is Shadow Sense by Lorna Partington, read by Kate Rawson, edited by Michael Hall and the music is by Kai Swarvett. Solstice Stories is presented by Rebecca Mordan and is a Scary Little Girls production, supported by FEAST and People's Postcode Lottery.
