I was reminded about book trailers earlier today and remembered I did a book trailer for Trollgrave! I don't think I ever cut it to size for social media (just YouTube) so I thought why not do it now??

These are my favourite kinds of artefacts and art - things that are ridiculously old (at the top end this is closing in on 6000 years old) but it has so much soul and whimsy. Look at its little feet!
Almost 6,000 years and we're still the same. We have always made silly little things.
