Today's arrivals while I slept

From our local bookshop, and a rare books seller in East Lothian.

I already have a fuller more original Scots play script for the 16th century play. But hoped that the slightly modernised/simplified version might be more suitable for my needs (including IF game design ...). Martin borrowed it for me from the uni library last week, and after a quick peek to be sure it was what I needed I could then confidently buy my own copy for longer-term use.

I love the Alice books. And collect playing cards. This is a new (last week) release of this deck. Plus a bonus fun book. We couldn't pick them up in person from the local bookshop on Friday - they needed to be ordered in. So I got them delivered, and they arrived in the post today.

I wonder if "Alice's Oxford" was what inspired Philip Pullman to write the Lyra's Oxford supplement to His Dark Materials?

The book was only newly published this year. Lyra's Oxford predates it a a lot. It could be the other way around!

[a_cubed]

Yes, quite possibly that other way around then.

Interesting connection though. Thanks for thinking of it! I bought Lyra's Oxford book years ago, though am not sure if I still have it.
