As someone about to embark on weaving complex ideas together in book form, thank you for the reminder that they are all held together by certain touchstones. It’s certainly easy to get lost.
Fairy coins I’m enchanted by both they look of them and this folk name for them. They are utterly delightful. So looking forward to the book arriving 😍
I received an advanced listening copy of Enchantment and finished it yesterday, sitting in my rickety little pickup beside the Flathead River on the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Reservation in Montana, where the return of bitter cold has iced the river back over again. There were swans and Canada geese hunkered down in an eddy off the main flow, and when I got out to brave the wind the sound of the river ice moving downstream was loud with all manner of scrapings and rubbings and shooshings and slushings. I was moved to tears and not just from the bite of the vicious breeze.
It is a beautiful, beautiful book. I like it better than Wintering, and I love Wintering. What a tremendous gift.
I love this etching! I've copy-and-pasted it so I can refer back to it later. It's filled with inspiration. I've also marked my calendar for your digital US events!
Thank you for mentioning them! My Dad was a geologist and my childhood was spent hunting fossils but weirdly I’d never heard of these before. They’re pure magic ✨
This is lovely--I can’t wait for our chat about this remarkable book! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Me too :D
Me too!

It really helps - I don't think I've been so conscious of it before.
My kids and I just spent a morning looking for crinoids at a science center. Ours are more cheerio shaped!
I need to see them!!
I am also very much looking forward to reading your new book. Do you have any idea when it will be published in Germany?
I don't know the date I'm afraid but I know it's being translated at the moment!
So looking forward to reading another one of your beautiful books. Sending peace in the weeks before its launch.
Thank you :)
Both images are gorgeous! Can’t wait for my preorder to arrive!
Hopefully very soon!

There’s a beach in Okinawa that has tiny star-shaped grains of sand. I think I have some somewhere...I’m going to need to see if I can find them now.
And can’t wait to read the book!

I’m going to need to find some fairy coins!! And I cannot wait for my preorder! ❤️❤️ much love to you this week as it’s launched into the world

Oh great, so there is a prospect it will come eventually. Really looking forward to it. Thank you.
I love your crinoid finds. The one we find in the Appalachian area look more like striated cylinders, but still a wonder!
Such wonderful images, both. That etching! Now I have to know more, too. I'm glad these things don't only exist in your head. x
That is so beautiful. And ‘Fairy Coins’ 🥰. I can’t wait to read it, roll on 9 March x
I wonder how you spend them!
What a lovely question. Maybe to buy wishes? Especially good wishes for someone else
Love that!
