2nd short book of the day is wild boar by Hannah Lutz (trns Andy Turner) from @theemmapress.bsky.social bought from @beardedbadgerbooks.bsky.social - the wild boar in question are mostly absent from this book as 3 characters head to the Swedish countryside in search of… something - it is a quest.

Now you tell me! Always thought there was more to you than just balls.
The #BayeuxTapestry coming to the UK is exciting and all but DID YOU KNOW that in our Archive we have our very own tapestry which tells the story of St Magnus?
It's not QUITE as old/long/historically significant as the Bayeux Tapestry but still well worth a visit. 🪡

But Edinburgh is a mad god’s dream
Fitful and dark,
Unseizable in Leith
And wildered by the Forth,
But irresistibly at last
Cleaving to sombre heights
Of passionate imagining
Till stonily,
From soaring battlements,
Earth eyes Eternity.
