Passion and Poison: Tales of Shape-Shifters, Ghosts, and Spirited Women by Janice M. Del Negro

4.0

I took a storytelling class taught by Janice Del Negro at Dominican University and loved it, so when I saw a review for this book I, of course, wanted to read it! There are eight stories in the collection, all centered around strong female characters. Each story is based on or inspired by a folktale or folk motif, and written in a way to make them easy to tell aloud. Janice told one of the tales, "Rubies," in class, and it is my favorite in this collection.
