Sorry for your loss, but glad you have found ways to help. I can also recommend the book The Bleeding Tree by Hollie Starling for folklore and grief

Chatting to John's family, it sounds like his library is enormous. We're really honoured that he asked us to take custody of part of it.

It would be great to see you ... and it will be such a good night. If you want to come, we can perhaps give you a stall if you want to bring things?
