The Midwife and the Lindworm is an excellent fresh take on classic fairy tales.
I could spend my time comparing A.A.Freeman's writing to Neil Gaiman or Patrick Benedick. I could talk about the wonderfully crafted atmosphere. Or I could talk about the wicked humour that peeks through once in a while. I could go on and on about the main character - the Midwife - her intelligence, kindness mixed with ruthlessness, her worldly sense and her no-nonsense attitude. I could talk about the imaginative subversion of tropes.
I could do all that.
But it will be easier and quicker for you to check out the Maid and the Lindworm and discover it for yourself.
