The Blacksmith at the Bridge of Bones by Ben Haggarty

A blacksmith. A boy. A wolf. A serpent queen. And the King's youngest daughter...

Renowned the world over for his playful and physical performances, Ben Haggarty will lure you into a full-blooded fairytale for grown-ups this Father's Day. This rare tale of male initiation is a story of power, knowledge, responsibility, alchemy and the darkest magic of all.

Evocative, unflinching and beautiful by turn, this distant variant of the legend of Wayland the Smith explores the enduring relationship between teacher and apprentice. This is a place where rules aren't broken lightly.
