From wise and warm to wicked and absent, mothers in literature have appeared in every imaginable shape and style. Whether they’re baking pies and dispensing pearls of wisdom, casting spells and stirring up trouble, or simply trying to keep their eccentric families afloat, fictional mums have long added heart, humour, and a healthy dose of drama to the stories we love.
