Why it's in the Cabin

The Juniper Tree reimagines the classic fairy tale through a dark, surreal lens, following a young woman’s trials in a world of violent folklore. Her spare, haunting prose transforms myth into modern allegory. This novella stands as a bold example of feminist rewritings of traditional narratives.

Barbara Comyns

Comyns unique and unconventional narratives and style were not entirely appreciated at the time of publication of her works. The re-issue of her novels in the Virago Modern Classics series helped the revival of her influence, and in the last few decades she has become a sort of cult classic. Critics like Lucy Scholes and Avril Horner have written about the process of rediscovery and republication of her work.
