Perilous Enchantment
by Sarah Clegg
Discover the curious and captivating history of the fae in Perilous Enchantment. Historian Sarah Clegg takes us on a journey through centuries of folklore, ancient gods, witch trials, fairy hoaxes and mysterious encounters, exploring our enduring fascination with these beguiling, and sometimes dangerous, creatures. From Icelandic elf fires to the modern romantasy phenomenon, this is a spellbinding exploration of the world of the fae.
We have a limited number of signed first editions with sprayed edges available, so do get your hands on one while you can.
A little something extra: We'll tuck a free tongue depressor bookmark into every copy ordered from our website. Happy reading!

Glimmers Pills
The old wooden birdhouse presents its perennial bouquet of baby Wrens – hungry suns blooming beak-first,
feathers falling into orbit, bodies remembering
how to unfurl themselves into this world. Jenna Whittaker
A glimmer is one of those small, easily missed moments that brings a flicker of pleasure, comfort, connection or hope.
For this special collaboration with The Wee Sparrow Poetry Press, poets were invited to capture a glimmer in a brand-new, previously unpublished poem of no more than four lines and 250 characters, small enough to fit inside a Poetry Pharmacy capsule.
Possible side effects: increased noticing.

for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;
