As adventurous as it is heartwarming and whimsical, Mamo is a magical story about the ties that bind us, featuring a thought-provoking magical lore and a deeply felt look at the ways we struggle with our personal histories. ![]() The pair must find and bury the bones to assuage Mamo’s angry spirit, lest the town be swallowed by the landscape, while also having the right the wrongs of Mamo’s neglect to the land. The artwork is so enrapturing you’ll practically smell the sweet grass and feel yourself ramble on through the fields and forests along with Jo as she aids witch Orla in a quest to collect the bones of her grandmother Mamo, the deceased witch. It is hard to not instantly fall in love with Mamo as the breathtaking artwork grabs your eye and pulls your entire heart and soul into the idyllic, pastoral landscapes of Haresden, a town where the local witch has recently died and chaos and fae mischief is running amok.
