AFTS Anthology Committee
South of the Sun: Australian Fairy Tales for the 21st Century is an enchanting illustrated book of fairy tales – but not the kind you read to children at bedtime.
They are strictly for grown-ups. Often dark, the stories visit places where things don’t end happily ever after, where a single decision can haunt you forever.
But there are also tales to make you laugh out loud, stories of sweet revenge and scenes of sheer delight in the work of magic and the fey.

The mythic hound is rarely just an animal. It is a guide, a threshold keeper, a dark companion. Sometimes it hunts souls, sometimes it saves them. Always it blurs the line between the mortal world and what lies beyond its shadowed edges. #FolkyFriday
