If you’re lacking reading materials for your Wednesday tea break, may I recommend my latest letter? From Paint Drying to Postatia Cream Via Thresholds, The Goddess Cardea, A Maiden Fair & The Fountain Fairy & To Cure A Cough. It’s a wonderful opportunity to explore some folklore around thresholds, learn about a Goddess of hinges, enjoy a charming fairy story & consider what we did before commercial cough treatments.
