If more politicians read children’s books I’m absolutely convinced they would be better for it. They’d learn about kindness, compassion, inclusion, honesty, learning from mistakes, saying sorry and the perils of being on the other side of those things!

So, people are going to have to pass A level english to live here are they? I hope they study what I did at A level, Translations by Brian Friel, about the colonial evil of the English forcing people to adopt the English language

Are other book folks noticing that dragons are having a bit of a moment?

The paperback edition of Blood of the Old Kings by @sung-il-kim.com and translated by @antonhur.com is out today, so we are re-releasing our interview with them from last year. The cast loved the first book and found this interview to be a delight.

From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
~Edgar Allan Poe
