PUBLICATION DAY! It's publication day for the reissue of Children of Winter by Berlie Doherty. It is an honour to be able to recover this classic on 1080s children literature: a timeslip story about landscape, history, and human perseverance at a time of plague. Out from @publishinguclan today.
Ifrītah. Two-colour reduction print. Ifrītah (also: afreet, eefrit, afrit or efreet) is a female Iifrīt of Middle Eastern folklore. Like most folkloric creatures, its origin is debated. The meaning of ʿifrīt' in early texts isn't clear: the word could be an epithet, not a class of magical creature.
A follow up statement about Kate Greenaway and the award that used to bear her name by @hobslantern.bsky.social & Dr Rose Roberto:
