*Combing garbage for food, howling non sequiturs, her filthy form barely contained inside a tattered overcoat and stained housedress, Mad Hettie appears to all the world a sadly ordinary casualty of street life. But if you travel, you might encounter her in a London backstreet one week and a Manhattan alleyway the next. And if her voice echoes down the pavement and up your spine, this is what you'll hear: she is 250 years old; her heart is missing; dangerous forces are moving in the unseen world. You should stop and listen because Mad Hettie is telling the truth. *Source: Back of card
