Copies of graphic novel Stitch Head:The Pirate’s Eye by Guy Bass & Pete Williamson and Chronicles of Whetherwhy: The Age of Enchantment by Anna James. The cover of the 1st book shows the titular Stitch Head, a figure who has been sewn together, clutching a ship’s wheel with tentacles and shadowy figures in the background. The 2nd book’s artwork shows a boy and girl in old-fashioned clothing, standing in a cobbled street. The girl is holding out her right hand for an approaching magpie to land on.

Belated birthday/Fathers' Day celebrations yesterday with my family. Big Baby brought booze for her dad and books and chocs for me and I am confident I got the better deal! 😊
