These are beautiful. Next time you do one, would love to see a rendering in Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics livery: the one I cut my teeth on.

These are all gorgeous but the Maggie Scraggle and the Beautiful Ice Cream Man esque one (7) is giving me a full nostalgia high

And no.8 which is making me reach for the Dark is Rising books again.

Absolutely lovely, if I was to choose a favourite (and that is hard!), it would be number 6. They actually look vintage too, fabulous 😁

Are there two Mackenzie Crooks? The Detectorists one surely isn't old enough to have written this book back in old currency times.

I love how this one manages to be a nod to the detectorists at the same time.

Took me far too long to figure out what was going on here. I was thinking, "didn't he just release this?"

Recently watched #SmallProphets and not got anyone to discuss it with, so I'll post this here.

Who might OG be, as I get the impression they might be bad?

I guess we'll find out once he's written the second series! Absolutely LOVED the first, a magical story something that's missing a lot these days and that makes me sound so old I know 🫤

Well now he has to write the book version so Penguin can publish it.

FYI I spent fifteen minutes wondering why I can't find this on Goodreads. So, congrats to you?
