Love this one too. Cried and cried and cried. It's amazing. No words at all but it says everything and more.

Still my favourite is the first one of his I got which was The Red Tree. Makes perfect sense some days when everything is harum-scarum and tipsy-turvy.

The one I got most recently is The Lost Thing. In a way all of them are silent since they depend mostly on the illustrations and the words in the background of sheets of paper and such like.

Oxfam came up trumps again, with Tom Holland's "Rubicon" for £2.99 - absolute bargain, and I've been eyeing it up in Waterstones for months. Tempted to sweep three James Barclay "chronicles of the Raven" along with it, but there's still most of the month to go.....

[DeepThought]

Just picked up (Graphic Novels);

1001 Nights of Snowfall (Hardcover), Bill Willingham - prequel of sorts to the Fables series.
Wolves (Fables vol8)
Sons of Empire (vol 9)
John Constantine, Hellblazer; Staring at the Wall, Mike Carey

Cheers, DeepThought

Have you started C. E. Murphy's The Queen's Bastard yet? My copy has a huge mistake. I was reading page 24 and then found out that the next page jumped to 377. Is your copy like that?

Received in the mail yesterday:

Brian Lumley: The Taint & Other Novellas (Best Mythos Tales, Vol. I)
and a new copy of James I's (or VI's, depending on how you look at it) Daemonologie (my other copy disappeared, apparently, somewhere in one of my moves....)
