leave Pfaff alone! knowing something, however little, about the glass and the apocrypha and the manuscript investigations adds to the enjoyment of the stories

Advanced tickets are now on sale for a performance of "Casting the Runes" at the beautiful Gladstone's Library in Harwarden on 6 November. If you are interested please email or message me. Space is limited.
I'm afraid this will have to count as the Welsh leg of my tour this year...
