“But I was in search of love in those days, and I went full of curiosity and the faint, unrecognized apprehension that here, at last, I should find that low door in the wall, which others, I knew, had found before me, which opened on an enclosed and enchanted garden, which was somewhere, not overlooked by any window, in the heart of that grey city.”

“In not a single one of these little campaigns was I victorious. In other words, in each case, I personally failed, but I have lived to see the thesis upon which I was operating vindicated. And what I very often say is that I’ve lived to see my lost causes found.”

That's very kind of you to ask, Pam, thank you 💜 It's an anthology of short stories by students (including me) on a creative writing course taught by the folklorist Sophie Parkes. I don't think there's any plan for it to be a paperback - it's only about 70 pages and more a memento of the course.

Hello! I am so happy to have received your friend request, and thank you so much for complimenting my review! You seem like the nicest human ever, so I hope we can interact!
Thanks, Pam 💚 - yes, I'd like to, maybe for Christmas 2026! I'm working on a historical fiction story at the moment - and looking forward to writing something more lighthearted again after that.
