Publisher Description
Whether it is a curse that needs breaking, a punishment inflicted, or an underdog fighting the odds, disability is so much a part of folklore that we can easily overlook it.
Cures and Curses brings disabled characters to the fore in a collection of folk tales that celebrates the wide-ranging disability representation and surprising nuance in traditional folk stories. Accompanying the stories is a discussion about how disability is represented in folklore.
