My Dad knew I’d been stressed recently & struggling with insomnia. He’s a poet so he sent me this little prescription. You open one when you need to & have a moment of quiet calm & reflection.

Book jacket of Constructing a Witch by Helen Ivory. The main image on the jacket is that of trees reflected in water, and silhouetted against a deep, rich blue sky. In the foreground, a stylised, white-draped figure stands in the water, looking down at her reflection.

The Good Old Days Pity the poor children of today, with their calendars stuffed with chocolates, never to know the thrill of opening a small cardboard door and discovering behind it a picture of a bell. Brian Bilston
