A paperback book standing upright on a table in a train carriage. The book - "The Lost Stradivarius" by J. Meade Falkner - is back with an abstract orange pattern featuring the shape of a violin and things that could be seen as faces.

A paperback book - "Beowulf: Dragon Slayer" by Rosemary Sutcliff - the cover of which shows a warrior wearing a Saxon helmet. Behind him is a shoreline and a longship making its way across the water with a dragon flying overhead.

New reads: starting some spookier reads for Halloween on a trip up to London with a lost classic and an enjoyable retelling of Beowulf. Both enjoyable in rather different ways.
