People come up to me in the village street and they shout through the bars of my carriage. “Pietersen,” they growl in their proletarian way. “Why do you play these miserable and difficult games?”

I’m pleased to say you can now pre-order my next book, ‘Fairies: A History’ (out in February 2026) from @politybooks.bsky.social. Thank you to Jeremy Harte, Simon Young, Jo Hickey-Hall and Owen Davies for such generous endorsements! 🌿📚 www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...
