Hi @timbolton.bsky.social you’d need to ask Penguin if they’re thinking of reprinting it—if they get enough requests they might consider it :-)

Doc Rowe took this lovely photo of Barbara yesterday evening—using my phone :-)

Thank you James :-)

We also announced the winner of the President's Prize for graduate student work in the field of folklore: Ailsa Dixon for MA thesis ‘Never has the world had so much need of storytelling and its healing powers: Storytelling for Wellbeing within the Scottish Public Health Sector’. Congratulations!

Read the Katharine Briggs Award judges’ comments on the short-listed entries: www.folklore-society.com/blog/post/th...

We also congratulate the joint runners-up:
Cormac K.H. O'Malley & Patrick J. Mahoney,The Enchanted Bay: Tales and Legends from Ernie O'Malley's Irish Folklore Collection (Merrion Press)
and
James Wright, Historic Building Mythbusting: Uncovering Folklore, History and Archaeology (The History Press)

The judges said the book "brilliantly illuminates the surrounding social and cultural contexts which shaped the Grimms & their work. A work with tremendous contemporary resonance given that the questions the Grimms raised around the nature of ‘folklore’ itself are ones we are still grappling with.”

Oh my goodness! That’s a beautiful pineapple lantern and much nicer contents to eat than the turnip we had :-)
