Just arrived from France today. These are L’Atalante’s reissues of The Fionavar Tapestry, new cover designs. Seen against a backdrop of winter out the window, which does fit one of the volumes!

Noise, worry, and whispers: the government's SEND changes will arrive any day now
Some of what ministers have planned is clear. But a lot isn't. And this much we know: some of the most drastic changes might arrive at the worst possible time
