A Pocket Full of Crows

In life, everything goes in its own order. After winter comes spring; after darkness, light. This year, it’s May Eve and also the second full moon this month. It’s time for witches to set out on the road. She has no name. Today she is a fox. She can take the form of an owl, a hare, a trout, or an otter. People would kill her if they could. But on this special night everything will change. She will meet a wonderful young man in the forest and appear before him in her true form—completely unaware of where this will lead.

“Pocket of Crows” is a beautiful story of love, loss, and revenge. A stunning and original modern fairy tale by Joanne Harris, the author of the famous novel “Chocolat,” which was adapted into a film starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp in the lead roles. Today, Harris’s books are beloved by millions of readers around the world. Her prose is poetic, and her plots are unusual.

This edition includes magnificent illustrations by English artist Bonnie Helen Hawkins, known for her traditional landscapes and graphic drawings.
