“The modern world is apt to forget that several people were Christians in the remote past, and in Lancelot’s time there were no Protestants—except John Scotus Erigena.” —T. H. White, The Once and Future King.

This makes me want to read some medieval Irish philosophy.

I’m quite pleased at finishing Le Morte D’Arthur before returning to The Once and Future King. So much of it really is expanded and in between Mallory’s text. She in the following quote is Nimue.

‘Than she and Merlyon wente over the see unto the londe of Benwyke there as Kyng Ban was kyng, that had grete warre ayenste Kyng Claudas.
1/4

Packing preorders of the glorious T H White by Sylvia Townsend Warner. Christmassy colours were NOT intended when planning the cover, but they look seasonal, no?

To be published 17 January, and preorders are posting now. handheldpress.co.uk/shop/lgbt-
