3. @henryhneff’s 5-book series The Tapestry, which is based on a (loose) adaptation of the life & deeds of Cúchulain, the celebrated hero of medieval Irish
literature. We also encounter a Fomorian, and follow Max on a visit to the Sidh, among many other Irish motifs ☘️☘️☘️

22 December on the #fantasyadvent: a special request from my nearly-10yo, it’s the Bunny vs Monkey series, by @jamiesmart. Every book includes a (hilarious!) #Christmas episode! 🐰🙊 (by the way, I may now be craving mince pies with a cherry on top!!!)

20 December on the #fantasyadvent: “The Snow Queen”, by Hans Christian Andersen, often published and illustrated as a standalone book. An absolute classic! Art: Vladyslav Yerko, Honor C. Appleton, Edmund Dulac, H.J. Ford ❄️🫅

19 December on the #fantasyadvent: an earlier “true story” of Santa Claus, this time by L. Frank Baum, author of the Oz books (illustr. Mary Cowles Clark). It follows Santa’s story from a foundling at the Forest of Burzee, to the Laughing Valley and old age. @UofGFantasy @FanLit

18 December on the #fantasyadvent: @matthaig1's A Boy Called Christmas, "the true story of Father Christmas", as per the first line of a story full of snow, elves, adventure, and an 11yo boy called Nikolas who believes in magic! My 10yo absolutely adored this one! @UofGFantasy

The letters were written in Father Christmas’s spidery hand (he was, after all, a very old man) and illustrated with funny scenes from life in the North Pole.

2/9

15 December on the #fantasyadvent: @BeatrixPotter’s The Tailor of Gloucester, in which a host of grateful mice help a poor tailor (who saved them from his cat!) finish a jacket + vest for the Mayor of Gloucester, who is to be married on #Christmas Day! 🐁🎄🧵🪡❄️🐈‍⬛ @UofGFantasy

12 December on the #fantasyadvent: a Dickensian Christmas story (NOT A Christmas Carol!) with an unexpected #Tolkien link: “The Story of the Goblins who stole a Sexton”, chapter 29 of The Pickwick Papers (https://t.co/NoLMKF80R1).

6 December on the #fantasyadvent: Julia Donaldson’s + Axel Scheffler’s Stick Man! A great one to read leading up to #Christmas as the story starts in the spring and ends on Christmas Eve! Follow the adventures of Stick Man trying to return to his Family Tree! 🎄🎅 @UofGFantasy

3 December on the #fantasyadvent: @FisherAuthor’s The Clockwork Crow. A beautiful Gothic story, featuring a feisty Victorian orphan girl, a lost boy, a haunting manor, scary Welsh fairies (the #tylwythteg), plenty of snow, all coming together at Christmas!
