Melissa G, Librarian
I loved this book. A Sapphic Regency romance involving a serious curse brought on by an excess of good manners, plus fairy textiles, Sulis Minerva rising from the springs at Bath, picnic-adjacent naiads and some magical chickens. With literary references scattered lightly through it like the most wonderful glittery confetti. The story is related by Robin Goodfellow (fallen on hard times, writing for a living) who you may remember from one of Shakespeare’s plays. Where he was *not* credited for his contribution.

A frolicsome delight, which is as much about stories, and how stories are told, as anything else. Thanks (yet again) for the joy, Alexis Hall.
