We subscribe to all the best journals

'If you don't mind my asking, Sir Wind,' said September after a respectable time had passed, 'how does one get to Fairyland? After a while, we shall certainly pass India and Japan and California and simply come round to my house again'.
The Green Wind chuckled. 'I suppose that would be true if the earth were round'.
'I'm reasonably sure it is...'
'You're going to have to stop that sort of backward, old-fashioned thinking, you know. Conservatism is not an attractive trait. Fairyland is a very Scientifick place. We subscribe to sll the best journals'.

Sometimes, books are so good and so beautiful that they find a way into my world and, most likely, into my wardrobe. 'The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland' is one of those, and on a library day I took a little bit of mustard and amber eyes with me, and added a good dose of studenty reading outfit. Increasingly, my wardrobe is filling with tan, mustard, and good old loafers. I always did want to dress like a librarian...








Now I'm off to dream of dragons and flying into fairyland on the back of red dragons...
