Grove into the representation of people with disabilities in legends and fairy tales in different cultures, features a selection of ancient stories and a contextualising foreword by N.C. Grove and Mikhail Karikis. Funded by the European Capital of Culture Aarhus 2017 (Denmark) and Arts Council England.
