Flemish Folktales Retold

An illustrated short story collection reimagining forgotten Flemish Folktales is coming!!! :-) But we need your help to turn this witchy dream into a reality which is why we have launched a Kickstarter campaign. Anything you can do to help is appreciated so much and we have a number of different rewards to show how much your support means to us including an exclusive hardback edition, handwritten Flemish spells, a Flemish magic box and so much more because anything you can do to help truly means the world!

About the Book
Flemish Folktales Retold is a collaborative project by Gatto Books from Signe Maene, Cate Zeederberg, and Kerria Seabrooke with Signe breathing new life into the age-old forgotten folktales of Flanders, Cate bringing these characters and haunted places to life with illustrations that capture the dark and enchanting folklore world in which they are set and Kerria editing this sometimes chilling, often strange, and eternally enchanting collection as well as overseeing the publication of the book.

This book will retell thirty-six tales which will be divided into six themes. The aim of the project is to remain truthful to the original tales as they were once told around the fireplace many moons ago, but to reimagine them, to give a voice to the shunned witches, explore the inner thoughts of creatures ostensibly described as grisly and ghastly, and immerse readers in the harrowing experiences of those unwantedly thrust into frightful narratives.
