A Bestiary of Authors

Well, we spent most of Sunday afternoon hanging the photos and prints of Madeleine’s exhibition - it grew a bit in the creation!

So, it’s now on show during regular shop hours - all 52 pieces! A complete deck of authors! Might have thought of a different name if we had known…

A specific website for it should be up in a couple of days or so, with an example or two at least, I’m sure.
