While digging through the garage yesterday, I came across nerdy treasures I thought I had lost ages ago! Very happy to be reunited with them. I *scoured* these books when I was a kid.

I love little bits of outrageous local folklore like this. Yeah, sure – until some ninth century village in Nottinghamshire invented pancakes, no-one in the entire history of human civilisation had stumbled across the concept of “flat batter”.

I really enjoy this magazine – I love sword & sorcery, but a lot of its classics were written 50+ years ago and hoo-boy it shows. It pains me that the genre fell by the wayside. New Edge picks it up again with all-new S&S stories from a huge range of writers. Classic but contemporary – it’s great.

Made an art for KING BEOWULF. It’ll sit across a spread so is singularly unsuited to this format. I’ve included a couple of detail shots so you can see the wee people and the wee hall in the distance. This is comfort zone stuff for me, but that’s ok. #beowulf

If Cheltenham was your roommate, it would put passive-aggressive post-it notes on everything in the fridge.

Very normal number of Churchill biographies for one bookshop to have, Cheltenham. Very normal indeed.
