Weather Witches and Wise Women by Joan Aiken

4.0

More wonderful stories, focusing on the magic of women as drawn from folk and fairy tales, but often given a modern twist -- "a shop girl who can sell you a pinch of weather, a lonely spinster piano teacher who can confront the devil and his pop group in a dark alley," as Lizza Aiken says in her introduction. Thus she "can call up the voices of the past to pass on the wisdom of a previous generation" in a time where evil is as present as ever.
