What a lovely day for a trudge through the woods. Currently rereading The Crystal Prison, the second volume of Robin Jarvis’s Deptford Mice trilogy. A childhood favourite! There’s a lot going on in these books: paganism, hidden London, folk horror, green man (mouse) mythology.
‘I see you walk a dangerous rope midshipmouse. Reality and memory ought never to entwine so closely! Beware your dreams and forget what has passed.’
So says the Greenwich Starwife (a squirrel).
