  • Summary

  • This book draws from the thematic threads of the German folktale about Rumpelstiltskin, that magical little imp who makes a horrific deal in exchange for his ability to spin straw into gold.

    For me, the stories in Spinning Silver are about finding and making manifest one's golden brilliance. It's about not being afraid of your power and allowing yourself to be fully present in your gifts.

    I read an excerpt from the end of chapter six where Miryem encounters the otherworldly Staryk king for the second time.

    Accompanying contemplative prompts for this book can be found at my website.

    Spinning Silver written by Naomi Novik and published by Del Ray, 2018. Naomi Novik is the author of many other novels, Including Uprooted (which is perhaps an origin story of Baba Yaga), a series about dragons, a series about a secret magical society, and numerous other stories.
