The Vestmannaeyjar in glorious weather. Spot the sheep who must have been wearing crampons. And a pufflingur awaiting a launch out to sea.

The Little Book of Dragons is published today (though you wouldn't know it from the British Library shop website). But all good retailers should be able to supply, unless you're in N. America where you have to wait a whole month for lovely dragon pix ..

And my next book, no cover yet nor publisher's page is going to be THE LITTLE BOOK OF TROLLS, even more keenly priced, from the British Library in the spring. A thrilling read!

My new book, Approaches to Emotion in Middle English Literature is out today from @manchesterup.bsky.social Your library needs it and it has a lovely cover. It took ten years to write too, so thanks to many people along the way, in Australia and elsewhere

Still feeling my way here and hoping for more #medieval content, as well as #GameofThrones and #OldNorse. Otherwise, for the new crowd, I'd better mention my latest book, that came out in March and signal forthcoming contribution to a Rheingold event at the Royal Opera House on September 15th
