ROALD DAHL”Kate Hodges is fascinated by stories
of fi erce mythological women, such as
Pele, the Hawaiian goddess (pictured),
believed to live in Kilauea volcano, which
erupts when she cries out for her true love.
Hodges’ book, Warriors, Witches, Women,
celebrates these tales. She explains: ‘These
names are whispered in bedtime stories across
the world, standing the test of time and capturing the
imagination of all people, regardless of gender, age or
race. These fabulous women may be from the darkest
past, but they’re leading the charge forward.’IMAGE: ILLUSTRATION OF PELE FROM ‘WARRIORS, WITCHES, WOMEN’ BY KATE HODGES, ILLUSTRATED BY HARRIET LEE MERRION (WHITE LION PUBLISHING, £18.99)
