For #AppreciateADragonDay, we're appreciating (in fear!) these snappy dragons on the cover of 'Snap-Dragons: A Tale of Christmas Eve'.
The book, published in 1888, was written by by Juliana Horatia Ewing & illustrated by Gordon Browne.

Happy International Fairy Day!
This morning we went on a fairy quest through our rare book collections and spotted some fairies before they flew away!
(And yes, some Dartmoor pixies did sneak into this tweet, the little scamps!)

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the squirrels, for today is #SquirrelAppreciationDay!
These early 19th century colour plates from 'Buffon's Animated Nature' (1828) show a red squirrel, a grey squirrel, a palm squirrel & a flying squirrel.
