The Blackwell’s book of the Month for January 2023 is...
In Defence of Witches by
Renowned journalist Mona Chollet. Chollet recasts the witch as a powerful role model: an emblem of strength, free to exist beyond the narrow limits society imposes on women.
Taking three archetypes from historic witch hunts - independent women, women who avoid having children and women who embrace ageing - Chollet examines how women today have the same charges levelled against them. https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/In-Defence-of-Witches-by-Mona-Chollet-author-Sophie-Lewis-translator/9781529034066

One of our bestselling books this week was first published 45 years ago (1977 so you don't have to do that in your head). In this edition of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion - the real star of the show, I think, are the 50 colour paintings, illustrations and designs drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien himself. https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/The-Silmarillion-by-J-R-R-Tolkien-author-Christopher-Tolkien-editor/9780008537906
