According to old books of magic, Scandinavian witches were able to create supernatural hares, so-called troll hares, in an intricate ritual. Folklore says that the troll hares, often referred to as "milk hares", would steal milk by drinking it (1/2) 🎨 Lily Seika Jones

Happy birthday William Morris, born on this day in 1834. He was inspired by nature and went on to design some of the most recognisable textile patterns of the 19th century. Do you have a favourite? Photos: 'Trellis', 'Pomegranate', 'Daisy', 'Acanthus'

In folklore, especially in Celtic traditions, the hare is a mystical, shape-shifting creature that is closely associated with the Otherworld. Hares were sacred to the Celts, and they were thought to be messengers between the mortal world and the spiritual realm. (1/2) 🎨 Lucy Tipper

I literally had happy tears in my eyes 🥹 when I received Books+Publishing’s review for The Nanny’s Handbook to Magic and Managing Difficult Dukes which released this week in Australia, NZ, & the UK with Atria Books AU! Full review link here: www.booksandpublishing.com.au/articles/202... #booksky

A quote from the Books+Publishing review "The Nanny’s Handbook to Magic and Managing Difficult Dukes stands out for its originality, beautifully layered plot, and the kind of charismatic characters who stay with you long after the final page,” is featured against a gradient background of deep yellow fading into dusky dark blue. At the bottom of the graphic is a raven (which is also on the book's cover of The Nanny's Handbook to Magic and Managing Difficult Dukes) sitting on the very top of a "gilt" clock edge. There's a white curlicue across the raven's body. An elaborate type "herald" of curlicues and leaf-like emblems in dark gold appears at the top of the graphic above the review quote.

Only one more sleep until THE NANNY’S HANDBOOK TO MAGIC AND MANAGING DIFFICULT DUKES is out in Australia, NZ, & the UK with Simon&Schuster AU & UK!! To say I’m a tad excited would be a huge understatement!! Store links: linktr.ee/amyrosebennettauthor #cozyfantasy #romantasy #comingsoon #booksky

The print book cover of THE NANNY'S HANDBOOK TO MAGIC AND MANAGING DIFFICULT DUKES by Amy Rose Bennett is shown against a pale gray ribbed blanket. The book is held by a woman, but you can only see her bare hands and arms that are clad in a long-sleeved, ivory wool sweater. There are two brown autumn leaves partly shown on the edges of the photo-style graphic along with two pale golden cookies shaped like autumn leaves. To the left of the woman's left arm is the corner of a pale wooden tray with a single star anise inside it. At the top of the picture, on the edge is a partial glimpse of a black coffee in a white cup. Near the woman's right hand is the corner of a pale gray rectangular object which appears to be the back of a reader or mobile phone. In the top right corner is a small circle in gradient hues of deep yellow and orange with the words "Out tomorrow in AU, NZ, & the UK!" written inside in navy-blue font.
