The Mouse & her mother had taken five bottles of their restorative Vin d'Aubépine round to Old Fox's cottage. They stood at the gate & shouted good wishes & village gossip & folk remedies at Old Fox, who was quite overcome at the rush of love he felt for his two small friends.

Old Fox heard a crash upstairs. He rushed up to find Wolf sitting on the floor surrounded by piles of Dostoevsky. I'm going to read to him, he said, all of these. Fox helped Wolf back into bed. You can read him a simple book tomorrow, something like Kaytek the Wizard, he said.
@BLprintheritage @britishlibrary @BL_MadeDigital @BL_European @BLMedieval I love those particular illlustrations. My new version of Reynard is being published in October by the Bodleian, but it's based on Caxton and the Dutch tradition. https://t.co/wig4jpaakI
Pine Marten lay in the dark nest of his bedroom, hot water bottle at his feet. Through the leaded window, he could see the cold curve of the moon over the Downs. He started to cough again & gulped some medicine, then sank back into an odd sleep haunted by the settling land.
Support @blackwellbooks and pre-order my tales of Reynard the Fox, a medieval Flemish lord just trying to stay alive in a treacherous and unpredictable world. https://t.co/zXSATJUlEb
The Mouse & her mother had had an unexpectedly nice evening. Old Fox had left a bottle of Cowslip Wine on their doorstep that morning, which they drank with a quiche aux poireaux & a salad of wild violets. After dinner, with their coffee, they watched Leslie Howard in Pygmalion.
