'When I became a [wo]man, I put away childish things'? Absolutely not, bc I still got the same rush of glee opening a new box of pens* that I did in elementary school. *huge plug here for my long-term fave pens, the Stabilo .88 fineliners

I know that the word 'Sea' is cut off by the gutter, but I like the idea that William Hole's Poly-Olbion maps included some posing figures identified as 'THE FRENCH'.

Really looking forward to this - such a useful and important book!

Coming back to this because I've just read Pierre Erondelle's The French garden (1605) and there's a dining dialogue where the lady offers her guests turkey and peacock seasoned with imported spices - made me think of the Ark chapter & I thought of you!

Even more thrilling is the keynote paper by @chloehouston.bsky.social and a keynote In Conversation on This Little World with @rentravailer.bsky.social - I'm biased, but you don't want to miss this!

Satan telling Pug in The Devil is an Ass that he's not good enough to corrupt souls in London, but that he might hack it in 'Lancashire...or some parts of Northumberland' is both savage and fascinating proof that EM Satan was a middle class southerner

So excited for that one - I wish I'd read it before drafting this article, but will definitely be incorporating it into a longer chapter on food!

I mean, we simply HAD to have the banqueting table and three full suits of armour (one for a horse). It's a need, not a want.
