Oh, that's so lovely! Thank you for forwarding this to me! :-)

Thank you! :-)

Thank you! Yes, I really like what she's done with the cover. And I was childishly excited by the animation...

Likewise! Exciting, isn't it?

Oh, thank you very much! That's really kind!☺️

Image shows a book resting on an expanse of dark earth and emerald-green moss. The book bears the title 'Brian Froud's Green Women' and has the tagline 'With Original Contributions from Extraordinary Women Writers of Fantasy and Myth'. Within a rectangle in the middle of the cover is a closeup picture of a laughing Green Woman with leaves escaping from her open mouth. Her face is weathered, her brows and hair morphing into leaves. Her expression is warm, sly, grotesque, wise, hard to read. Golden outlines of leaves surround the rectangle. Above and below the image of the book are other taglines in gold. "Words and stories of fantasy and myth from acclaimed women writers around the world." "With provocative portraits from the 'grandfather of faerie art' Brian Froud.

Brian Froud's GREEN WOMEN will be coming out on Oct 6th! Over 70 pictures by Brian Froud, and contributions from dozens of women writers (including me).

Aagh! And this is why I try to avoid any sentence involving the world 'years'. There's usually a number involved, and it's always higher than it should be.

My photo shows a Roman fresco of a brown rabbit with long ears, curled on the ground, with a rounded, soft-looking body. Its head is lowered as if nibbling at three figs placed in front of it. The figs are small and round with short stems, painted in dark reddish and bluish tones. From Pompeii. Now on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.

Here’s a charming Roman fresco of a little rabbit eating figs 🐰❤️

From Pompeii, 45-79 AD.

Thank you very much! That means a great deal.

I'd heard about this! Yes, sadly relevant to our times.
