Our next Author Talk is Tuesday! We’re welcoming Mary Dockray-Miller ’86 and discussing her latest book, Freyja’s Garden. Introduced in Beowulf, the Danish princess Hildeburh is now the heroine of her own story. She must marry the prince of Frisia to secure peace between their peoples while navigating the pains of war and the demands of the goddess Freyja and her cult.
Mary majored in English at Vassar and taught at Lesley University for 25 years, and now blogs as The Massachusetts Medievalist
