These new stamps from the UK's Royal Mail appeal to me. Since I'm not familiar with all of the lore, I'm going to have fun learning more about some of those depicted in this new set.

The book cover for "Black Dog Folklore" by Mark Norman. The cover image is of a large black dog with pointy ears and glowing eyes sitting in a graveyard with a church in the background and a full moon in the night sky behind a leafless tree. The artwork is greyscale in the pointillism style (made of tiny dots instead of brushstrokes).
It's been a book buying week, unplanned, but I now have lovely new books 😊 This arrived from Sacred Earth www.sacredearth.org.uk today and it looks really interesting, good news for me as I've wishlisted it for years!
